Subject: Favorite ABBA Songs
Written By: Tanya1976 on 01/27/06 at 6:44 pm
I love this band. Cheesy, yet still a bona fide classic for 70s music. My faves are Take a Chance on Me, Fernando, and Waterloo.
What's yours!!!

Oddly enough, back in the 70s and 80s, my favorites then have changed from what my favorites now:
Back then:
Voulez Vous
Does Your Mother Know
Take a chance on me (I still remember the Muppets doing their show to this song)
Now:
The Winner Takes it all
Fernando
Name of the game or SOS (tied for third)
I love this group, no matter how cheesy it is....in my book...cheese is good.

Oh, and how could I forget!? "Lay All Your Love On Me" is one of my favorites too!! I even like the covers by Erasure and Information Society. :) (and I usually don't like covers)

I didn't think anyone other than me remembered the Information Society version. It was a good one yes O0

I like 'Take A Chance On Me', but my absolute favorite is an ABBA 80's song called 'Gimme Gimme Gimme'. Madonna has sampled the song in her latest hit.
On a side note, the ABBA concert movie which was made here in Australia in 1977 and starred, of course, ABBA and Robert Hughes (Aussie audiences will remember him as Martin Kelly on the TV show Hey Dad!), is available on DVD. Its a great show and playes out like a mockumentary in which Robert Hughes' character plays a reporter trying to get close to the group. You see ABBA arriving and press conferences, plus some great concert footage.

I love Dancing Queen but my favourite song is The Winner Takes it All.

I think the soundtrack of Abba songs is why I thought the movie, Muriel's Wedding was so good. Well, alright the movie was good too, but the songs helped an awful lot. How fun it would have been to walk down the aisle to "I do, I do, I do, I do".

I think there may be another ABBA poll on here...but hey, I don't mind voting again!
I'm going with "Dancing Queen" and "Take A Chance On Me". I'm still deciding on a third choice.

Dancing Queen

Other : I've Been Waiting For You
In relation to the original post : Nothing cheesy at all about Abba, they are just about pure pop at it's finest.
OK, Bjorn's lip-synching was atrocious, I'll give you that ;D

I feel like adding a couple more of my Abba fav's. Earlier I declared 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' as my absolute fav, and next would be 'Dancing Queen' & then 'My Love, My Life', all from the Arrival album

So many enjoyable songs from them ... tough to pick just 3 ... but I'll agree with Badfinger on 'Knowing me Knowing You' ... the 1st song they did that I really liked. The other two are probably less well known .... 'One of Us' .... and 'The day before you came'
:)

I just heard Dancing Queen on the radio at work yesterday and thought, I need to download some Abba songs! That's my fave, along with SOS.
