Sure. But that´s part of their charm. Besides, they released one album a year.. so the one or the other subpar track must be excused... others wait for YEARS to release a new record.. #soon 😆

Of course it´s a matter of taste and Dancing Queen is probably highly overplayed but I would say it´s one of the best pop songs ever and also one of their finest. Benny and Björn were asked in one interview which songs they considered their best and they said Dancing Queen and The Winner Takes It All, I tend to agree, although I have a special love for One Man, One Woman. I too think that Arrival / The Album was their peak (love later albums too though).

Another question, hard to answer I know but here it is: Do you have a favourite? Agnetha or Frida? I really don´t have a favourite, they are both so brilliant and unique, and sound so good together. It must have been hard for Frida when at the end of Abba, all the singles chosen had Agnetha on lead...on the other hand, during Arrival all the leads were by Frida..

Jazzy, it didn´t feel like a massive flop in Europe back then, maybe it was different in Australia or the States. One Of Us was quite a big single, although less successful than the Super Trouper singles. But then, in the 80s, it became uncool to like Abba.. maybe it was good for them to stop at that point. Anyway, I saw a TV special yesterday on German television and that was really interesting, god I love their music and I always get so emotional.. 😆😆

I don´t believe that he has mental health issues. He´s rich and not too intelligent which makes an unfortunate combination..

Thanks for all this! If It Wasn´t For The Nights is my favourite track on Voulez-Vous! That dancing in the first video tho 😆

OKOKOK all those 50+ most favourite tracks are much too easy to do! Now pick your Top Ten! Here´s mine: 1 Dancing Queen 2 One Man, One Woman 3 S.O.S. 4 Fernando 5 The Winner Takes It All 6 Knowing Me Knowing You 7 The Name Of The Game 8 One Of Us 9 Summer Night City 10 Thank You For The Music

My biggest wish is that she finds a new and fresh and creative musical director. Imo, Kevin Antunes is the worst thing that has happened to her. She should be celebrated in her concerts as she deseves, with exciting musicians or great reinventions of the songs, not just use album versions or horrible mash-ups.

One can only hope that he ´s not Madonna‘s drummer anymore!! She should have fired the whole „band“, first and foremost Mr. Antunes after the S&S disaster.

What a great list too! 🤩 As you say it´s easier to name the songs one doesn´t like.. for me that would be I Have A Dreram and Two For The Price Of One..😆

Thanks! ☺️ What are your favourites?

They come to Spain in March (Barcelona and Madrid). I have seen them live on their last tour and I loved it. Besides, the new album is great - so I ´m even more excited for the coming tour.
