I liked, "there's something going on" by Nina, but she was solo on that one.

I do have one ABBA song on my playlist and it sorta stands out compared to all the other music I have.. heheh.. but the only song I cared for is "Knowing Me Knowing You".   :)

I can't pick just one! They had so many great recordings!
FYI Agnetha recently announced that she will record again. For the last number of years she was the only member NOT involved in music in some way. There is currently no talk of a reunion, but it doesn't hurt to dream! I think Benny is so cool:)

This is tough, but I'll pick "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".  ("Dancing Queen" is a close second)

I was just going to mention that.  That song wins hands down.
My sister always said hers was "Dancing Queen" and when she was a kid she remembers it playing on the radio in the car on the way to school and that she pretended it was an opening song for a movie she was starring in.  Yes, as our classy dame is being driven by her fat but fatherly chauffeur through town, we see the credits roll.  We pan the camera about the neighborhood: the poor... the stupid... dogs... where is that old woman going?  Who are those lovers playfully passing their cooties about?  AHH, just about there.  The music fades, the ultra-classy limo (the fantasy gets fricked up here--the image of the orange Vega is too strong) slows and halts at that fashionable hang-out, The Marble Pit.  The music stops and from the car emerges... THE DANCING QUEEN!

I use to pretend that I was the dancing queen too!  My parents have told me that I use to dance to this song in my high chair.

My choice would be "Gimme!Gimme!Gimme!(A Man After Midnight)" because it has that slight goth feel to itself.Its intro is just gorgeous.
Other ABBA favourites of mine include: "SOS","Fernando","Knowing Me,Knowing You","Eagle","Summer Night City","The Winner Takes It All","One Of Us","Head Over Heels/The Visitors" and the magnificent "The Day Before You Came".

In my opinion Abba and The Beatles are the greatest singles bands of all time.  My favourite Abba single would have to be 'The Winner Takes It All' - superb!
