Both are rightly classed as 'Greats' but U2 have the edge here (waheeeyyyy).

Both lucky to avoid Toots in the draw.

U2, that's like when they're picking the footy teams in Kes, Casper c'mon I've got to have yer.

I'd rather listen to SOS than U2 but U2 it has to be I suppose.

Not really. Toots are out. 

[Scott_M]

U2 are less hateful.

Voted U2 but disappointed to see that ABBA are going out this early.

 

I’ll balance this out this afternoon by reaching for my ABBA albums, removing the records from their sleeves, giving them a spin and celebrating my masculinity by dancing my bottom off.

Before your friend comes round and fucks your bottom off?

U2 have got about 7 or 8 great albums.

ABBA have got two songs (SOS and The Day Before You Came) that are OK. 

[Harry's Lad]

Wasn't going to vote in case some pedant fucked this contest up as well.

I voted U2. Not u2 or you too but U2.

Take note Stig.

[Strontium]

This is turning into an Abba fan disaster.

Get on "The Visitors" mate, it's ace, weirdly ace. Also "Eagle" is decent, veers off into classic rock towards the end with the guitar solo. 

 

Obviously i didnt vote for ABBA as U2 should win this by miles, but those two tracks i really like as they aren't particularly ABBA-ish.

Bump 

[Scott_M]

IMO, ABBA are down there with the B52's as one of the worst bands in history.

 

Honestly, like a cheese grater going over my ears.

[SasaS]

Or hot lava?

A few years ago in work there was just me and one girl in early on. She told me that the previous night she'd walked into the living room, where her mum and dad were watching a documentary.  When she asked them what it was, they said "Aberfan". Being partial to a bit of glittery, cheesy disco, she settled down to watch it. After about 10 minutes, she started asking why Sweden's finest hadn't appeared at all. It was at that point that they realised that their daughter was a fuckwit.

 

Bear in mind that she told me this when there was nobody else in the office, so nobody else knew what had happened.  Later that day, she called her mum about something. After she hung up, she shouted to me across a crowded office "That was my mum. She's still laughing about Aberfan."

Had to go for ABBA because U2 are half brilliant and then absolute shite.

[Evelyn Tentions]

I detest ABBA but not as much as I detest the pretentious wankers in U2

[Total Longo]

If it was U2 v Adolf and the Third Reich, people would still vote for the latter solely because of their hate for U2.  Even accounting for the latters woeful musical output in the last 75 years.
