What are YOUR BENCHMARK TRACKS?
Same and there was one time it came on when I was drunk and my friend and I both CRIED / DANCED to it and it was indeed EVERYTHINGAnd DQ really has suffered from overplay. I don't get the same chills from it that I used to. Although hearing it unexpectedly when drunk remains EVERYTHING.
I can't with 'Angeleyes' sometimes and yes it's my earliest musical memory now that I've cancelled MJAnd I don't think that vocal blend will ever be beaten. There are Abba songs I prefer to Angeleyes, but it gets my #1 (for now, at least) just because of those vocals. I don't think there's a better example of that 'third voice', and listening to the song knowing their voices individually and together is remarkable - how they alternately sweep and soar and how they are layered.
I suspect anything that may be left could be filed under 'interesting bits' rather than being very good.Let's face it, it's slim pickings and the stuff stolen from the boot of Benny's car is probably the best of the lot. I bet those much vaunted vaults are EMPTY.
Swedish QX magazine have published a ranking of all of ABBA’s songs as voted on by a panel of 40 Voyagers (they can’t be an active group in 2021 without the fandom having a name and apparently that’s it ).
Here is the top 20:
1. The Winner Takes It All
2. Dancing Queen
3. Gimme Gimme Gimme
4. The Day Before You Came
5. Knowing Me Knowing You
6. When All Is Said And Done
7. As Good As New
8. Lay All Your Love On Me
9. If It Wasn’t For The Nights
10. Don’t Shut Me Down
11. One of Us
12. Kisses of Fire
13. Summer Night City
14. I’ve Been Waiting For You
15. The Name of the Game
16. Eagle
17. Voulez-Vous
18. The Visitors
19. Take A Chance On Me
20. Angel Eyes
