So - tell me your top 5 ABBA songs you would like a reaction to and I will line them up. I am doing 'the Day Before You Came' later this evening. I would love to know.
You said "this is a change" but actually each Abba song is unique and has a style of its own, influenced by different genres. This song is one of Abba's best known and rightly so. I can't believe you hadn't heard it before! It really was a massive hit in most territories.
I’m LOVING your ABBA journey. Although it won’t scratch the surface: 1) Super Trooper 2) If It Wasn’t For The Nights 3) The Visitors 4) Move On 5) The Piper Best start with album 1 and come forward!! 💚
Super Trooper is my next song. I guess as an 11 year old kid - I was stuck on pop music and a little new wave. I should have kept my head up for bands like ABBA.
“Like an Angel Passing through my Room”, “I wonder,”, “Andante, Andante”, “Lay all your Love on me”, “The Way old friends do”, “Move on”... I can’t Count my favorite five. There are so Many more🥰
Move on - when I kissed the teacher - hole in you sole - suzy hang around - and tropical love island and many more. Great journey to go on fantastic memories of my child hood.
Knowing Me Knowing You is fantastic. Angeleyes has awesome harmonies in the chorus. Move On has a great message for our journey through life. It's difficult to pinpoint any one song. Put On Your White Sombrero and Cassandra are very good. Oh, and Agnetha sings another break up song on the Arrival album called My Love My Life. I kind of envy you discovering ABBA'S music for the first time, but then again I've been enjoying it since 1974. Have a nice journey.
"The winner takes it all" (1980) is Their most saddest song, it's a heartbroken song, although at the same time it is a beauty of music and song, with a raw but excellent lyrics, it's a Masterpiece the blonde singer Agnetha has said in other interviews that She likes to sing melancholic or sad songs, because She can act and interpret the feeling of the lyrics. that's what She does here, in this song; the lyrics are not about the reality of Her marriage and divorce with guitarist Björn (although it can include part and was inspired by), She acts interprets and sings, it is Flawless Unmatched and Unforgettable Agnetha and Björn separate at the end of 1978 with two small children; the legal divorce occurs in the middle of 1980, a year and a half later; and that's when Björn writes the lyrics, on a melody that the pianist Benny had already elaborated, and Björn himself makes a demo with his voice "The winner takes it all" was voted the best ABBA song by British fans between Their 25 singles edit in UK it is also the favorite song of both: Agnetha and Björn For a next reaction I suggest their First worldwide hit: "Waterloo" (1974) but Not the Official Video (it's good and now in 4K Quality) it's better to see and react the live perfomance at the famous Eurovisión Song Contest, when ABBA win with these iconic song and begin your worldwide career: th-cam.com/video/3FsVeMz1F5c/w-d-xo.html I hope to see you in next video I wish you a great weekend My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
A four chord structured masterpiece ! (Think there are a few more linked chords but i just love this song) Probably eight in total but i’m no expert. Abba fan since 1975. Vocals superb. Lyrical gem even though it’s very sad. Think they said they liked it as they said it was a “complete song”
This was a huge hit back in the early 1980's. Top 5 on my list of the greatest ABBA songs. It's off the Super Trouper album which was the album just before their last one, "The Visitors".
As far as I know I've got all 110 ABBA songs (not including the new releases or non-English). All their songs are good with many great and most lesser known. Jeez where to begin... "My Love My Life" (beautiful) "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)" (hard beat) "Summer Night City" (live especially) "I Am The City" (positive energy) "Lay All Your Love On Me" (so cool) "My Mama Said" (funky) "Put On Your White Sombrero" (awesome harmonies) "Two For The Price Of One" (more awesome harmonies) "Hey Hey Helen" (poignant) and "On and On and On" (fun)... I mean really on and on and on with ABBA. Have fun!
THIS IS THE BREAK UP SONG OF ALL TIMES. BUT TELL ME DOES SHE KISS, LIKE I USED TO KISS YOU. DOES IT FEEL THE SAME, WHEN SHE CALLS YOUR NAME. THE MOST HEARTBREAKING LINE. 💔💔💔💔
I always run the songs by my wife to put them to the test to see if she has heard them - if she says no - then I know for sure I haven't. I will ask her to listen. Stay tuned....
This was written by Agnetha's ex husband Bjorn right after their divorce and he asked her to sing. So it was a really emotional and hard piece for her. Bjorn commented in his interview during a scandinaivan talk show in 2014, that more than hard, it was also a cleansing of emotions for both.
Abba off the beaten path: Try "So Long" (glam rock, 1975), "Move On" (*one of their most beautiful melodies 1978), "Hole In Your Soul (rock opera1978), "Eagle"(prog rock, long version 1978), "That's Me (pop 1976), "If It Wasn't For The Nights" (disco, 1979), "The Visitors (new wave pop/rock 1981).
Yeah!"!Thats me"what a fantastic video the girls dreamy, undiscribably beautiful and "Move on"a buried masterpiece,an hymn to life.That was the first Abba song iever heard as a little child in 1978.IT was my first album i bought with my pocket money.
Great reaction! Actually, this is one of their more famous songs. I think it was number one on the UK charts. Of ABBA's all 108 songs this is my number one favourite song by them. This is a very emotional song. So I suggest that you look at the the official video on TH-cam by yourself some time since you can't post it here on your TH-cam channel. In the official video Agnetha really manages to convey those strong emotions. The angelic voice of Agnetha gives me the chills in this song, especially those long notes. It has always bothered me that both her and Frida got overlooked by so many when talking about the greatest female vocalists of all time. Here are a few lesser known songs: Dance(While The Music Still Goes On) - Waterloo Album, 1974 I Let The Music Speak - The Visitors Album, 1981 Lay All Your Love On Me - Super Trouper Album, 1980 Move On - The Album, 1977 Hole In Your Soul - The Album, 1977 Disillusion - Ring Ring Album, 1973 My Love, My Life - Arrival Album, 1976 Tropical Loveland - ABBA Album, 1975 That's Me - Arrival Album, 1976 As Good As New - Voulez-Vous Album, 1979 This is only 10 songs because there are a lot more great lesser known songs by ABBA I could add to this list, but 10 songs is a good start I think. Hope you find them great.
I would honestly struggle to narrow down my top ABBA songs to just 5. Here are a few of my favourites, one or two I would say are not their big hits but I think are fab (album name): My Love My Life (Arrival), I Wonder (ABBA The Album), The Piper (Super Trouoer), Gimme Gimme Gimme (Voulez Vous), Voulez Vous (album title track). That’s just a sample of my favourites.
As an ABBA-fan since the 70`s, I could never put together a list of just five favorite Abba-songs. But this one, The day before you came and Eagle would definitely be up there. I love the whole discography, really. At some point during your Abba journey, if you are interested, I would recommend for you to check one of the documentaries about them as individual artist, who they were before and at the beginning of Abba. It tells a little bit about all the things that influenced them as musicians and contributed to what later would be known as "the Abba -sound". I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Here`s a really good documentary, in case you are interested: when four become one th-cam.com/video/Rj92N8cuWbk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing another one of your first reactions🌷🌷🌷🌷 This is the video you should watch when listening to this song: th-cam.com/video/8tE0GjSQpes/w-d-xo.html She sings the song standing next to the man she has two children with and whom she is newly divorced from. Only problem is - Benny looks very happy playing his piano, as he always do😂
Great rockin’ ABBA songs: 1. Tiger 2. When I kissed the teacher 3. if it wasn’t for the nights 4. summer night city 5. under attack 6. Angel eyes 7. our last summer 8. slipping through my fingers 9. on and on and on 10. Eagle
Great reaction videos to ABBA! Offering a few lesser known suggestions, you might try "Chiquitita", "My Love, My Life", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "SOS" and "Take A Chance On Me"
A few suggestions: The name of the game When all is said and done One of us Knowing me, knowing you Eagle I think however that The Winner Takes It All is the most powerfull song they made. Your reaction was really great. It's ging to be difficult to top that.
I just subscribed to your Channel. 5 top Abba songs that I think you might like are EAGLE, LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME, THE VISITORS, KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU, S.O.S
I grew up in a household with my 52 year old grandmother - how much ABBA you think she was spinning? I bought my first vinyl record in 1980 and it was Rolling Stones Tattoo You - other than that K-tel records - which was all watered down pop and new wave. When you are a poor white kid living in SW Virginia - you listen to what you can.
@@masseysmaineentertainment I wasn’t or should I say my parents weren’t made of money, Britain was going through afew years of strikes redundancies, high jobless totals, my mum and dad did what they could work wise, as a British (England) born Indian, my parents didn’t spin any at all. It’s cos of hearing them on the radio not my dad made a mixed tape of different songs from 1980 off the Radio 1 charts countdown and played them on a loop by my dad. I remember ABBA by Super Trouper, Woman In Love by Barbra Streisand and Cliff Richard “It’s So Funny (we don’t talk anymore) when I was 10, them three are the ones I still remember to this day. Then afew years later Winner Takes It All by ABBA the music video on tv.
I am apologizing to all my subscribers as this video got inadvertently taken down by mistake. I how you will still like and sub and comment about the video if you haven't. so many of you left wonderful comments and I offer my deepest apologies that my responses were lost ...... your love for ABBA was deeply noted.
@Nils Erlandsson right! The Visitors, who do an ABBA show, have at least two string players in the backing band, as I recall. No synthesizers that I know of!!
So - tell me your top 5 ABBA songs you would like a reaction to and I will line them up. I am doing 'the Day Before You Came' later this evening. I would love to know.
my ABBA Top 5:
1) S.O.S. (1975)
2) Dancing Queen (1976)

One of the best songs of the greatest popband in history..
Man, Abba is HUGE!!!
You said "this is a change" but actually each Abba song is unique and has a style of its own, influenced by different genres. This song is one of Abba's best known and rightly so. I can't believe you hadn't heard it before! It really was a massive hit in most territories.
Abba will go on to be the biggest things in the world.
I’m LOVING your ABBA journey. Although it won’t scratch the surface:
1) Super Trooper 2) If It Wasn’t For The Nights 3) The Visitors 4) Move On 5) The Piper
Best start with album 1 and come forward!! 💚
Super Trooper is my next song. I guess as an 11 year old kid - I was stuck on pop music and a little new wave. I should have kept my head up for bands like ABBA.
“Like an Angel Passing through my Room”, “I wonder,”, “Andante, Andante”, “Lay all your Love on me”, “The Way old friends do”, “Move on”... I can’t Count my favorite five. There are so Many more🥰
♥ ABBA - Agnetha is such an underrated vocalist. Probably their best song
Right now - agreed.
Move on - when I kissed the teacher - hole in you sole - suzy hang around - and tropical love island and many more. Great journey to go on fantastic memories of my child hood.
Beautiful oceanic classic super thinking constructive song.
one of the best.
Agnetha’s voice in this is heavenly
no argument here...
Knowing Me Knowing You is fantastic. Angeleyes has awesome harmonies in the chorus. Move On has a great message for our journey through life. It's difficult to pinpoint any one song. Put On Your White Sombrero and Cassandra are very good. Oh, and Agnetha sings another break up song on the Arrival album called My Love My Life. I kind of envy you discovering ABBA'S music for the first time, but then again I've been enjoying it since 1974. Have a nice journey.
Of the very popular ABBA songs, my favorites are Fernando and this one. But even better are The Piper, Soldiers and The Day Before You Came.
Yep, I love The Piper and Soldiers too. Such underrated tracks, even among ABBA fans!
"The winner takes it all" (1980)
is Their most saddest song, it's a heartbroken song, although at the same time it is a beauty of music and song, with a raw but excellent lyrics, it's a Masterpiece
the blonde singer Agnetha has said in other interviews that She likes to sing melancholic or sad songs, because She can act and interpret the feeling of the lyrics.
that's what She does here, in this song; the lyrics are not about the reality of Her marriage and divorce with guitarist Björn (although it can include part and was inspired by), She acts interprets and sings, it is Flawless Unmatched and Unforgettable
Agnetha and Björn separate at the end of 1978 with two small children; the legal divorce occurs in the middle of 1980, a year and a half later; and that's when Björn writes the lyrics, on a melody that the pianist Benny had already elaborated, and Björn himself makes a demo with his voice
"The winner takes it all" was voted the best ABBA song by British fans between Their 25 singles edit in UK
it is also the favorite song of both: Agnetha and Björn
For a next reaction I suggest their First worldwide hit:
"Waterloo" (1974)
but Not the Official Video
(it's good and now in 4K Quality)
it's better to see and react the live perfomance at the famous Eurovisión Song Contest, when ABBA win with these iconic song and begin your worldwide career:

I hope to see you in next video
I wish you a great weekend

A four chord structured masterpiece !
(Think there are a few more linked chords but i just love this song) Probably eight in total but i’m no expert. Abba fan since 1975.
Vocals superb. Lyrical gem even though it’s very sad. Think they said they liked it as they said it was a “complete song”
Not sure if you've listened to "The Visitors", but that one is definitely "off the beaten path", and it's one of my faves!
This was a huge hit back in the early 1980's. Top 5 on my list of the greatest ABBA songs. It's off the Super Trouper album which was the album just before their last one, "The Visitors".
A stunningly beautiful sad song ♥
You are so right Paul.
Thanks.. i recommend the little odd gems "Hole in your soul" and "Summer night city" by ABBA.
Both songs have been recomended highly....need to get those on my list...
add ABBA's "Lay all your love on Me" and Angeleyes you won't be disapointed
As far as I know I've got all 110 ABBA songs (not including the new releases or non-English). All their songs are good with many great and most lesser known. Jeez where to begin... "My Love My Life" (beautiful) "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)" (hard beat) "Summer Night City" (live especially) "I Am The City" (positive energy) "Lay All Your Love On Me" (so cool) "My Mama Said" (funky) "Put On Your White Sombrero" (awesome harmonies) "Two For The Price Of One" (more awesome harmonies) "Hey Hey Helen" (poignant) and "On and On and On" (fun)... I mean really on and on and on with ABBA. Have fun!
I plan on staying on the ABBA train - can't wait for the new release...
THIS IS THE BREAK UP SONG OF ALL TIMES. BUT TELL ME DOES SHE KISS, LIKE I USED TO KISS YOU. DOES IT FEEL THE SAME, WHEN SHE CALLS YOUR NAME. THE MOST HEARTBREAKING LINE. 💔💔💔💔
I used to live in the Abba back in the early seventies
Very difficult a 'top 5' - so I'll give you 5 that show some of their diversity "Rock Me", "Fernando", "So Long", "OurLast Summer", "Angel Eyes"
When All a said and done!
I always run the songs by my wife to put them to the test to see if she has heard them - if she says no - then I know for sure I haven't. I will ask her to listen. Stay tuned....
Wow. Your ABBA reactions are great, man!
I appreciate that!
So you can relate? We all do. much love
This was written by Agnetha's ex husband Bjorn right after their divorce and he asked her to sing. So it was a really emotional and hard piece for her. Bjorn commented in his interview during a scandinaivan talk show in 2014, that more than hard, it was also a cleansing of emotions for both.
What a story for a song..
Abba off the beaten path: Try "So Long" (glam rock, 1975), "Move On" (*one of their most beautiful melodies 1978), "Hole In Your Soul (rock opera1978), "Eagle"(prog rock, long version 1978), "That's Me (pop 1976), "If It Wasn't For The Nights" (disco, 1979), "The Visitors (new wave pop/rock 1981).
Yeah!"!Thats me"what a fantastic video the girls dreamy, undiscribably beautiful and "Move on"a buried masterpiece,an hymn to life.That was the first Abba song iever heard as a little child in 1978.IT was my first album i bought with my pocket money.
I will.
Great reaction! Actually, this is one of their more famous songs. I think it was number one on the UK charts. Of ABBA's all 108 songs this is my number one favourite song by them. This is a very emotional song. So I suggest that you look at the the official video on TH-cam by yourself some time since you can't post it here on your TH-cam channel. In the official video Agnetha really manages to convey those strong emotions.
The angelic voice of Agnetha gives me the chills in this song, especially those long notes. It has always bothered me that both her and Frida got overlooked by so many when talking about the greatest female vocalists of all time.
Here are a few lesser known songs:
Dance(While The Music Still Goes On) - Waterloo Album, 1974
I Let The Music Speak - The Visitors Album, 1981
Lay All Your Love On Me - Super Trouper Album, 1980
Move On - The Album, 1977
Hole In Your Soul - The Album, 1977
Disillusion - Ring Ring Album, 1973
My Love, My Life - Arrival Album, 1976
Tropical Loveland - ABBA Album, 1975
That's Me - Arrival Album, 1976
As Good As New - Voulez-Vous Album, 1979
This is only 10 songs because there are a lot more great lesser known songs by ABBA I could add to this list, but 10 songs is a good start I think. Hope you find them great.
I will have to give them a listen - but of them - which 2 would you think a reaction would work well....i have never heard of any of these.
@@masseysmaineentertainment Ok. React to "Dance(While The Music Still Goes On)" and "Hole In Your Soul". Enjoy!
The Visitors, Cassandra, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Name of the Game, Chiquitita
