How in the fuck are the Band winning this? 

Because the GF has more than its fair share of musical snobs, with a few that appear to be tone deaf as well. It’s possible a couple could also be stark raving bonkers. 
 

No issue with The Band, their output and influence is there for all to see. They’re not ‘greater’ than ABBA though, they’re just not.

It really has brought out the worst of the GF these tournaments.

I have never met a male of the species who has taken an ABBA record out of the sleeve and played it by choice.

Wedding music.

 

Stig probably puts on Dancing Queen when he is a little down and glides gracefully around the room. Then he has a little cry and is ready to go on with the day.

They use it at gay pride events too now.

 

Regardless, The Band should be close to winning the tournament in my opinion. An amazing group of musicians...

This.

I used to dj in the early 80s and the amount of women coming up and asking for ABBA meant you had to play them.

Guaranteed floor fillers though.

Their popularity will never be in question, my missus loves them, but would I play them for myself?, no.

You can acknowledge something for what it is, it doesn't mean you have to like it.

They're just there.

The Band. Can't stick ABBA. Apart from SOS which is a masterpiece.

 

The only one I actually like, its really good 

Can't knock ABBA as they made good pop records but that's about it as someone said imagine going round to someone's house and he pulled out an ABBA album to stick on, alarms bells.

I think you should be happy with the decision to not include The Beatles.

 

Going by some of these arguments they would probably get knocked out in the quarters by The Smiths or The Fall.
