Moopy's Top 50 ABBA Songs - FULL RESULTS ON PAGE 14

[dUb]

What did @dUb rank highly in this again?

8. Don't Shut Me Down
Highest scores: @dUb (10)

6. If It Wasn't For The Nights
Highest scores: @dUb (11)

 

[dUb]

If I remember correctly from the podcast, Lay All Your Love On Me is actually one of @dUb's top five ABBA songs, so if he'd just been a teensy bit more generous then it could have had a perfect ten score. Absolutely nothing untoward about his scoring though - his average just skewed lower than most other voters, which is totally fair for someone who isn't an ABBA "fan" as such.

Oh! Sorry about that. Thanks for inviting me to take part though and congrats on a wonderful countdown!

 

[GinAg (39)]

I guess the manner of the vote reveal left those low voters rather exposed.

1. Lay All Your Love On Me
such an incredibly desperate, borderline unhinged song, over a relentless dance beat,

A great winner and I echo what you write here because, like my favourite song of all time …Baby One More Time, it manages to perfectly capture one of the most powerful human emotions - desperation.

 

[COB]

Zen Giraffe to be hanged by the neck until dead, from a crane.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Let's do another one

Not ABBA again obviously.

 

[Iguana]

Well done @Pingu, it's all been said already but fantastic write-ups and a very enjoyable exercise, including the syncs!

I'm surprised but very pleased that Knowing Me Knowing You did so well - and also surprised you gave it a 7 Do we need to do a sync listen to it?

Also Eagle was a fantastic winner

For a LONG time in the process I was the only one not to give KMKY a 10. I had no idea it was held in such high regard!

Yes sorry to anyone who received the villain edit as a result of the reveal system.

I came up with it before I realised there’d inevitably be people showing up way more than others.

Each and every vote was appreciated.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Fun fact: Moopy prefers Waterloo as a Eurovision song than an ABBA song.

Sorry but I can’t make a joke about people needing a hearing test, but you can make a joke about this?? Trigger warning PLEASE!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Yes sorry to anyone who received the villain edit as a result of the reveal system.

Don't worry, I thrive on it.

[Pingu]

I do have one more sexy stat to share. After @Ag got the top five bang on, I started wondering whose taste was most reflective of Moopy's as a whole, so I got my abacus out and worked out the correlation coefficient for everyone's scores compared to the averages.

Here, statistically, are the "voices of Moopy" when it comes to their ABBA tastes:
1. @VoR
2. @lolly
3. @Marilyn
4. @Devil
5. @Lockhart

The voter who gave the highest score to the top ten was @Jark (everything a 10 and 11 except for one last-minute 9.5), and the voter whose 10s finished the highest overall was @Sheena with all his 10s in the top thirty. @dUb and myself had all of our 10s finish higher, but we didn't award the full amount of 10s available. All of @Ag's 10s finished in the top 25 except for one that didn't make the top 50.

Wow! Serve a bitch a compliment and don’t even get a care react!

 

[Suomi]

Wow! Serve a bitch a compliment and don’t even get a care react!

It was NOT a compliment and you know it!

 

[Beverley]

It was NOT a compliment and you know it!

It WAS! The write ups were ace but I don’t do ABBA so I read three!

 

[Penelope]

Let's do another one

Not ABBA again obviously.

A*TEENS RATE

 

[Diddy]

Let's do another one

Not ABBA again obviously.

How about instead of one artist, we each nominate a song and vote on the best one?

 

[Diddy]

Ahh I'm just kidding - can you imagine how much drek we would have to listen to?!

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Let's do another one

Not ABBA again obviously.

Madonna?

 

[Devil]

Thanks @Pingu, I’ve been busy getting to Australia so missed the final reveals but what a fabulous final five and amazing write ups. Good job on such a brilliantly run rate!

Anyone got an appetite for a Girls Aloud one?

 

[Pingu]

Anyone got an appetite for a Girls Aloud one?

I’ve never delved fully into their back catalogue so I’d definitely be up for that.

They’ve also probably got just enough songs to work for this too - you need the depth of material but someone like Madonna or Kylie would potentially have too much to be manageable.

 

[lolly]

Yes, it was the size of the back catalogue which made me think they were a good option.

I should have phrased that post in a way which didn't suggest I would be up for doing it, though.

Not ABBA again obviously.

@Iguana should do this with Kate Bush or he's not as big a fan as I am of ABBA.
