You're comparing apples and oranges. Both ABBA and the Bee Gees were incredible exponents of the pure pop genre. The songs and arrangements meticulously crafted. Take a serious listen to their music, preferably not on the radio of your 1970s Holden Commodore :)). You'll discover that there is a lot of craft to those eminently hummable ditties. King Crimson, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp - the soundtrack of my youth.
I have listened to Brian Eno EVERY day (night actually) for over 15 years, Music for Airports is a powerful soundscape tool for falling asleep. An Elvis impersonator is an example of ripping off an artist. Elvis wasn't a songwriter, he interpreted other songwriters creations, but was he ripping off the creator? What other singer has a trademark snarl? Elvis also had a stage charisma that was legendary. Elvis, Babe Ruth
and Adolph Hitler may have been aliens, their powers were otherwordly
The music of ABBA and the Bee Gees will (justifiably!) live longer than that of Captain Beefheart, King Crimson, or Brian Eno.
no way, Crimson rocks.. ;)
Crimson will never die. ABBA and Bee Gees probably not, too.
well, yeah, I mean, ABBA. <3

You’re probably right but I like Brian Eno anyway.

That's not even a hot take is it? It's just obvious to anyone with any kind of toe that has ever been tapped.
I dunno, the music of Brian Eno includes Talking Heads, U2, etc. (And not just in some abstract way; you can hear his voice on the records.)
Bowie's Berlin Trilogy as well.
Spicy but yea they’ll probably live longer
Ouch. But probably accurate.
