Best ABBA song and why?

Seeing ABBA Voyage soon and getting in the mood listening to the set list. Best ABBA song for me is SOS - just utterly euphoric and bizarrely gives me goosebumps when they sing the, "When you're gone..." bit.

What's yours?

Fernando I just loveit and even more after Mamma Mia 2 it was perfection 🥰

Winner Takes It All I think.

Our last summer, which I'd not heard till I saw the film, makes me cry every single time!

I love The visitors- very dark- a bit Cabaret - very underrated album and that track is mint

Love Angel eyes to dance to

Absolute pop/dance genius.

Slipping through my fingers
And
Chiqititia

Can never choose between them. Loved ABBA.

The Day Before You Came

So clever! Can listen to it on loop.

Slipping through my fingers.

I cry ever time I hear it now that I have children, especially my daughter who is my youngest and last baby,

@Crikeyalmighty totally agree with your comment about The Visitors!

IfLoveBelievesInMe · 22/07/2023 14:55

It's hard to choose. Some of mine ;

Cassandra (hauntingly sad, beautiful melody)

Bumblebee (I love bumblebees)

Waterloo (great tune, happy song, gets everyone dancing)

Another Town, Another Train (I just like it )

Summer Night City (another feel good tune)

Happy New Year (I love this one)

The Way Old Friends Do

Easyontheeyes · 22/07/2023 15:00

Thank you for the Music!

FrazzledFirefly · 22/07/2023 15:02

Dance while the music still goes on

Gingerlygreen · 22/07/2023 15:03

I love so many of them but really like One of Us.
I think Chiquitita is underrated too

Lagershandy · 22/07/2023 15:08

Another one for The Day Before You Came, very sliding doors I think.
Lay All Your Love On Me

Our Last Summer. Lovely storytelling (and a great tune).

I Still Have Faith in You.

So many great sing-along choruses. They've got me through many a long run!

You've made me miss my dad now- these all make me think of his record collection.

Waterloo makes my heart sing. Bloody love Abba.

hilbil21 · 22/07/2023 15:43

Favourite ever is Dancing Queen

Willowcat77 · 22/07/2023 15:43

Hasta Mañana! The melody is so haunting, I love it.

Also, Super Trouper is ridiculously catchy!

BettySundaes · 22/07/2023 15:48

What, I'm at the bottom. Of the scroll and no one thinks its Dancing Queen????

Jongleterre · 22/07/2023 15:49

Eagle
Summer night city
Chiquita
SOS

Cocolapew · 22/07/2023 15:54

SOS, Ring Ring and Take a Chance On Me. The vocals on Take a Chance are sublime.
I was hoping to get to Voyage over the Summer but got a puppy instead 😄

GreenEyedGiant · 22/07/2023 15:55

Chiquitita and Thank you for the music. While other teens were blaring late 90s RnB out their windows I was blasting ABBA and singing along at the top of my voice.
