My favorite headcanon of Aziraphale is that yes, he hates bebop with a passion (as much as an angel can hate)

BUT

He desperately hides from Crowley just how much he adores ABBA.

He's got hidden records stashed in places in the bookshop Crowley doesn't even know exists

The Bentley knows to play ABBA when Aziraphale drives alone (which to be fair has only happened like a whole twice, but both Aziraphale and the Bentley agree it was a good twice)

He has deals with Maggie to get the rarest records of their hits, (and makes her absolutely swear on any number of religious icons to keep this from Crowley)

The only person Maggie has told is Nina, who likes to secretly tease crowley when he comes in to pick up coffee by calling out different titles of ABBA songs instead of his name

(He's always been so focused on getting back to the bookshop and his angel that he's never once noticed)

((He did notice once when she called out Angeleyes, but Aziraphale happened to walk in at the same time and Crowley assumed she was just making an astute observation))

Only plays the records when he is absolutely positive Crowley will not be there, for at least 20 minutes at a time

Once, when Maggie got him a platinum version of Waterloo, he was tempted to draw a line of salt across the door so Crowley couldn't interrupt him. (He felt very very bad for considering it) (but he did in fact consider it for about 5 minutes)

He honestly just likes the way the music sounds. He thinks it sounds like if happiness was compressed into small 3 minute pieces he could hear at anytime

Secretly admires the fashion, but from afar, and would never put a pair of bellbottoms on, even if threatened with hellfire

He hides this for a good 45 years, until one day, the Bentley decides to play nothing but ABBA, on their (what should have been 4 hour, but thanks to Crowley's loose interpretation of speed) 45 minute drive. Aziraphale has to pretend that he hates the songs and doesn't know any of them, and why would he, thank you very much, how did the Bentley ever get the idea for such grating bebop

Until Lay All Your Love On Me starts up, and he freezes, and crowley immediately figures it out because it's been 6000 years, of course he knows when Aziraphale is hiding something, and from then on out Crowley NEVER lets it go

But also the Bentley plays ABBA much more often on rides now
