You literally can't not like ABBA. You may SAY you don't to sound cool, you may be ashamed because of it, but you like them. You'll always like them. Best get over it now
I was an ABBA tragic as a young boy. Imagine my delight when my school Report Card came out, and my first four grades were A, B, B, A! I still love their music because it's timeless.
Angel Eyes ... Although I didn't found any video of it. Vocals are amazingly melodious just act as like different music instrument itself . One of my very favorite track !! ABBA all tracks are literally out of the world ... Extraordinarily Melodious combination of vocals, perfect lyrics and mesmerizing music.They were pretty futuristic as compared to 1970's . Just imagine 40 years back... without internet they reached top ten song list of more than 14 countries and sold 6-10 millions copies !! Simply outstanding and stunning !! Still rocking in 2018 .I think every fan will share the same feeling mentioned in below lines and perfect tribute of their love towards ABBA !! "So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me" - Thank You For The Music Track - ABBA
A top 10 ABBA songs ? How can it be possible ? Each time you listen to an ABBA song, it is the best song. And when you have finished, the other ABBA song you listen to after becomes the best.
If people who don’t like pop music and have 0 interests in mainstream music still recognize every song almost 40 years after your career end, you know you’re a legend.
Plus, ABBA is one of the "Guilty Pleasure" groups that the "Coolest of the Cool" listen to in secret. They'd be so-o-o-o embarassed if ANYone knew. (These songs are in a hidden folder on their music player.)
ABBA is more than just a pop band. Pop bands are simple and catchy. ABBA is way more complicated and very harmonic. Something that pop bands before and now are not. ABBA is out of this world. Definitely one of the greatest bands ever existed.
This video was how I first discovered ABBA was more than "Dancing Queen", and made me want to look into their full albums! Nine years later I'm a huge fan and know all the lyrics to their songs. Thank you!!!
I'm glad to see there are other ABBA fans my age! I always feel a little self conscious for liking disco at my age. I'm only in my 20's. I remember my Dad joking with me and saying he was the dancing queen back in the 1970's. It made me laugh so hard.
i'll always remember what i was doing the day i fell in love with ABBA. I was sitting on the plane from London bored to death scrolling through the plane's touch screen when i see "ABBA" as a music option, and despite my utter hate of any music pre dating 1980, i gave it a shot and 24 hours later i had over 60+ of their songs in my ipod, completely OBSESSED with this wonderfully amazing group i wish i was around to have seen them perform live XD
Abba from a throw back time...the sound takes you back to forgotten time when you were young....knew people who simply adored Abba and it was infectious....yes we celebrated every time you heard a strum of piano keys/of a guitar or voices "annoncing" an Abba song and to this day, you hear an Abba song and you get lost in nastalgia....so you're YOU again for a brief tune...comes every now and again Happy New Year 2021!
I was stationed in Germany during their rise to fame and attended their concert in Hamburg. I was an instant fan; love their music and the movie "Mama Mia". Looking forward to their upcoming album.
They are all good, other mentions should include: The Name of the game Thank you for the music Hasta manana And when I was 5 years old - Nina Pretty Ballerina
I never got bored of any of the ABBA performances. I am Indonesian, but used to live in the Netherlands during the mid 70's right in the middle of ABBA's popularity years. Their songs are unforgettable and bring back so many sweet memories of my childhood and my late parents back. I feel sorry that they had to split from each other.
Hello from another Indonesian, tante (judging from your username)! My grandma was (and maybe still is) an ABBA fan. I grew up listening to them as well. Sorry to hear about your parents’ divorce.
As a 15 year old boy. I feel weird because i know every single song in this list and some others not included. My childhood was filled with ABBA songs. My family was hooked with them i guess. o.O
my childhood too! my dad used to have a CD with all of their songs and since we speak spanish (we are from Dominican Republic) and I didn't knew how to speak it, I Just invented the lyrics 😂, Im 24
Isaury Troncoso ABBA released a spanish album in 1980 called Gracias Por La Musica with many of their hits in spanish, it was re-released in 1993 as ABBA Oro with extra spanish songs and again in 2014 as Gracias Por La Musica (Deluxe Edition) with all spanish songs and a bonus CD of performances of the spanish songs :D
One of the greatest music groups of all time, and this video and the comments just prove it. The singing, songwriting, arrangements...just all of it have always been superb!
ABBA was slow getting to the US, but I think that was Stig's ultimate objective from the get go. They were so meticulous in the crafting of every single song. They broke out of Sweden-only with the Euro-contest superhit Waterloo, then S.O.S - then they switched language to English (American accent) and put the girls in front, vocals (the boys did back up, and wrote most all the songs). Life is so, so short. I love the fact they were so old fashioned, believed in marriage and family and children. But their careers were so intense, they were superlative cratsmen artisticly. They gave themselves unstintingly to their adoring world audience. Yes they did break into the English-speaking world, almost by surprise. But it was not the USA but Australia. I am an American, and somehow overlooked them when I was young. I am turning into their biggest fan. My favorite is "Winner takes it all."
Agreed! "Thank You For The Music" and "As Good As New" should have been mentioned. They are both great songs and complete polar opposites: The former is a tear jerker and the latter is so happy and joyful! :)
What a band. So many hits that the top 10 feels right until you realize there are so many classics that are all just great songs on the own such as Chiquitita, Angel Eyes, Does your mother know, Honey Honey, Summer night city, Lay all your love on me, our last summer, the day before you came, when all is said and done etc. All of these songs that weren't included in top 10 could be among the top songs of any other band. That's the legend of ABBA, no other band so many awesome songs to their credit.
Ocean Hedonist Abba's dance songs like gimme gimme gimme or dancing queen don't come close to their non-dance songs like SOS,Chiquita or I have a dream which have profound lyrics.
Not an ABBA Top ten track IMO The Day Before You Came Take a Chance on me Under Attack That’s Me On & On & On One of us Ring Ring Ring I Have a Dream etc etc
Kinda strange that More than half of the "honourable mentions" were from the album 'Voulez-Vous' yet the title track (one of their best) didn't rate a mention. Very odd.
@@nickchristoforou7850. I can't really argue with dancing queen as #1 first time I heard it I was in love with the Abba girls, but SOS should have been in the top 5 and Chiquita too and the name of the game not even honorable mention I love that song I love all Abba songs but super trooper and does your mother know are not top 10 my top 5 would have looked like this 1 dancing queen, 2 Fernando, 3 SOS 4 Chiquitita 5 take a chance on me 6 knowing me knowing you, 7 waterloo, 8 mama mia, 9 the name of the game, 10 money money.
the day before you came, the winner takes it all, knowing me knowing you, sos, etc etc . still gives me chills and tears after 35 years. brilliant compositions, arrangements, production, vocals. timeles classics
My top 10: 10. Chiquitita 9. Our Last Summer 8. Knowing Me, Knowing You 7. One of us 6. Voulez-Vous (I think that's how you spell it) 5. Super Trooper 4. Dancing Queen 3. The Name of the Game 2. Thank You for the Music 1. THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL!!! (But seriously, it was SOOOOOO hard to choose just 10.)
Janine love that song I lyric pranks my Ex with that song and it made him cry and thxs to that song prank we got back together truth be told I never told him it was a prank
Knowing Me, Knowing You~ my favourite ABBA song since I can remember, literally. My parents, grandparents, all huge ABBA fans. ✨❤ Now my own daughters love them, too. ☺️❤️ I also remember our bus driver had a various hits 8-track with "Angel Eyes" on it & we'd ask him to play it *every single day* , lol. Poor guy, a bunch of primary aged kids actually *requesting* music on the bus route to & from school. Meatloaf was on it, too & another daily request, lol.
I love ABBA & am proud to say so! So many great songs. My faves are: SOS Fernando Chiquitita Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) The Winner Takes It All Super Trouper Take A Chance On Me
ColinsCity Yesss, when I watched their 1977 concert on YT and ABBA: The Movie, I was stunned. I’ve Been Waiting For You and He Is Your Brother are also songs that sound good live
People often wonder why ABBA is such a guilty pleasure for many. Some cite the obvious Disco influence in some of their songs but that's the thing; only some and certainly not all have that music style so it can't be that. Others cite the fact English wasn't their first language giving the songs an innocent sense and highly accessible nature. I disagree, the lyrics to their songs are actually quite complex and the topics of their songs are often unconventional and deep in a way that it finds its way in everyone's experience either because they can relate to the message or because the music grabs at something that can't be put into words and ABBA is damn good at that. That is no simplistic effort and I'd say they have a better command of the English language than most native English speakers do. So language barriers aren't what makes their songs frothy and childlike to the point they are guilty pleasures because their song catalogue is far from cheap and simple. I truly believe their music is a guilty pleasure for many for the same reason musical theatre is a guilty pleasure for many. It is no coincidence that ABBA's song catalogue is the basis of a smash hit Broadway musical. Their songs have more than just a hint of theatricality in them; they ARE very theatrical. Not only in their sound but also in the way they treat subject matter and how they always seem to be using music to deepen a story, to flesh it out, to make it real and to reach into us all and invoke that which cannot be said via the spoken word. And why is that a reason to want to hide it all and pretend you're less of a fan than you are? It's effective. You can't just be at a bar and hear an ABBA song come on and not feel like time is standing still. ABBA reaches in and pulls you in whether you like it or not. It makes you feel. Disco music with its beats and grand orchestral accompaniment had very much a similar theatricality that many people also resented. I think there is such a thing as music that is too effective; it begins to become intrusive if you don't plan to feel a certain way and it forces you to. Those of us who are able to handle the weight that these songs bring easily adapt and find them to be invigorating. Not everyone is able or willing to do that and so they wait until they are alone to enjoy the music that makes them feel, when they are ready to let their guard down.
I don't believe in bull fight efforts ABBA r a bunch of Aliens have invaded our universe music industry and cool, quietly , quickly and carried away,just look their songs,almost all r best in music but fucking don't resemble each other Let it be fast or soft no all r unique in their category,will stay the best. HS Bafila
La mejor agrupación que e escuchado y visto en estos 46 sños en que los vi por primera ves y a un a pesar de tantos años los sigo viendo y escuchando sus videos como la primera ves que tuve la fortuna de ver sus videos musicales
My personal top ten favourite ABBA Songs: 10. Lay all your love on me. 9. Take a chance on me. 8. SOS. 7. The Winner Takes it all. 6. Super Trouper. 5. Gimme Gimme Gimme ( A Man after midnight). 4. Mamma Mia. 3. Money Money Money. 2. Waterloo. Honerable Mentions: - Fernando. - Does your mother know. - Knowing me, Knowing you. - Our last Summer. - One of Us. 1. Dancing Queen.
mbear1 honestly, I feel like ABBA is at the same time overplayed and underappreciated. People instantly think "Dancing Queen" and write them off as a superficial disco band. So much so that the rest of their endless collection of fantastic music is left forgotten. it's unfortunate, as they have a lot of depth to their music :/
mbear1 BBM no they are not ,the entire world already knew who they are ,and how awesome they are ,maybe in US they are underatted ,but i dont know exactly
+Owen Reese I Think All this top 10 songs and Honorable Mentions are Super Popoulat Songs But SOS at #9 and The Winner Takes It All at #6 They are underrated in this ranking... They should be #1 and #2 in my opinion
You forgot The Day before You Came, best by far imho(It belongs between songs like Trans Europa Express from Kraftwerk en Hallogallo from Neu!), followed by The Winner Takes It All. The Visitors is also great.
Pretty good list. Good job. 10. Money, Money, Money 9. Voulez Vous 8. Mamma Mia 7. Chaquititia 6. I Have a Dream 5. Knowing Me, Knowing You 4. Waterloo 3. Take a Chance on Me 2. Dancing Queen 1. The Winner Takes It All
Honorable mentions include Love Isn't Easy, When I Kissed The Teacher, Eagle, Does Your Mother Know?, Kisses Of Fire, Happy New Year, Our Last Summer, Andante Andante, The Piper, One Of Us, and I Let The Music Speak. Hell it should've been a top 20 or even 30 lol I disagree with most of the list but Mamma Mia, S.O.S, and Dancing Queen definitely belonged there. The Album, Voulez-vous and Super Trouper (my favorite) are damn near perfect albums. Yes I am in love with this band.
10) ✔ Super Trouper 09)✔ SOS 08)✔ Gimmie Gimmie 07)✔ Waterloo 06)✔ The winner takes it all 05)✔ Fernando 04)✔ Knowing me knowing you 03)✔ Mamma mia 02)✔ Take a change on me 01)✔ Dancing Queen Also know: Money Money Voules Vouz Does your mother know Chiquitita Thank You For The Music One Of Us When I Kissed The Teacher I Have A Dream
And just when you gave up hope for 2021…ABBA IS BACK BABY!!! 👏👍👏👍👏With 2 new songs out “I still have faith in you” and “Don’t shut me down “ All these years later and they sound as fresh as ever. Their new album is going to shatter records. ABBA forever!!!
No way, The Eagle is the best they ever did. ( And it isnt even on the list ?) Also where are One of us, The visitors, Marionette , I kissed the teacher and Slipping though my fingers ? To many good songs, i listen to everything they did once every year from beginning to end and it always gets me in a really happy mood. For the last years i also came to love " I let the music speak" and "The day before you came" but that might just be me ?
Well, list is obvious compatible with American taste. But, Benny Andersson once said that Pete Townshand asked him if he knew that "S.O.S." is the best pop song ever written. I could agree with him.
You literally can't not like ABBA. You may SAY you don't to sound cool, you may be ashamed because of it, but you like them. You'll always like them. Best get over it now
agnetha fältskog is old enough to be your mamma , but if she walked up and asked you for a date , you'd fall all over yourself
There is nothing cool about not liking ABBA. They are simply beautiful and this comes from a heavy metal fan.

Knowing Me, Knowing You is my favorite. Never fails to make me cry.

choosing your favorite ABBA song is like choosing between your children...simply impossible :)

I wish "Lay All Your Love On Me" had been in the top 10, but at least it got a mention.
Yesss
Best ABBA song!
I love that as well
I know right
👍👍👍
Dancing Queen 100% agreed. Its 2018 & still rocking with this band ABBA
So proud over my country for bringing abba to the world!

I used to listen all of them 25 years ago. And now I put them in my favourite song on my phone to listen them over and over again
"One of us" is such a hunting and beautiful song...it deserves at least an honourable mention😁
my favourite;)

Chiquitita should be in this Top 10 list.

so right her voice was amazing on this song
ABSOLUTELY! Its a masterpiece!
It was at least mentioned though
Chiquitita is my very favorite! It explodes with power and emotion!! Simply a stunning song.!!
ABBA was slow getting to the US, but I think that was Stig's ultimate objective from the get go. They were so meticulous in the crafting of every single song. They broke out of Sweden-only with the Euro-contest superhit Waterloo, then S.O.S - then they switched language to English (American accent) and put the girls in front, vocals (the boys did back up, and wrote most all the songs).

That's the legend of ABBA, no other band so many awesome songs to their credit.
The fact that we all feel like there were missing many song in this video tells you how great this group was.
For ABBA, top 10 isn't enough.Most of their songs are great.Even their underrated songs are worth appreciated.
To leave Name of the Game out of the top 10 is crazy. It's probably the most hauntingly melodic song that ABBA ever released.
Thank you, Name of the Game is a Top 10 Abba song in every book but WatchMojo.

the day before you came, the winner takes it all, knowing me knowing you, sos, etc etc . still gives me chills and tears after 35 years. brilliant compositions, arrangements, production, vocals. timeles classics
i've been waiting for you is one of my favourites
I'm 15 years old and I have heard every song in this video at least 500 times!
the winner takes it all is so awesome song
Kind of a sad song. Very ballad-esque (imo)
It was also used absolutely perfectly in the Season 4 Finale of Better Call Saul. Great song! Great series! Great episode!

10. Chiquitita
9. Our Last Summer
8. Knowing Me, Knowing You

I started loving ABBA when i was 12 years old but now I'm 15, i still love them
ha, ha
Proud to say that I sang along with all of these songs
I still do!!!!!!😎❤🇸🇪
I wasn‘t a big fan of DANCING QUEEN for a long time - and then one day it HIT ME 1000%!
Il n'est jamais trop tard ! 😂😂
It's not my favourite ABBA song but it's definitely one of their best
Our Last Summer
Janine winner takes it all
Janine our last summer all the way
Janine love that song I lyric pranks my Ex with that song and it made him cry and thxs to that song prank we got back together truth be told I never told him it was a prank
I wonder if there are any other 16 year old guys out there who are extremely into abba as much as I am.
I feel you dude. I'm 17 and I love their songs. lol
pfff I'm 21 xD Yet, I became a fan not that long ago... xD
21 and I love them, not all their songs but enough to call myself a fan.
You should go watch them in swedish
i´m a 14 year old guy and i freaking love this music
ABBA - The only band who could make you cry and dance at the same time.
Far from the only
Thank you for the music makes me cry
honestly there all great and i couldnt pick just one favorite
Couldn't agree more.
I could not go trough the list without stopping at every song, searching youtube for it and listening it.
Knowing Me, Knowing You~ my favourite ABBA song since I can remember, literally. My parents, grandparents, all huge ABBA fans. ✨❤ Now my own daughters love them, too. ☺️❤️
I also remember our bus driver had a various hits 8-track with "Angel Eyes" on it & we'd ask him to play it *every single day* , lol. Poor guy, a bunch of primary aged kids actually *requesting* music on the bus route to & from school. Meatloaf was on it, too & another daily request, lol.
I love ABBA & am proud to say so!
So many great songs. My faves are:
SOS
Fernando
Chiquitita
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
The Winner Takes It All
Super Trouper
Take A Chance On Me
Was there any doubt Dancing Queen would be #1? Great list, great group!
I miss "The day before you came" - ABBAs last track and really a great one.
And I miss "Slipping through my fingers" and "our last summer"
One of us was the last song
So many ABBA songs that are a little stranger, like “I Am The City”, “Tiger”, “Me and I”, etc are so underrated!
Reshapre Your Mind Tiger is the best the live performance i always love watching so much :D
ColinsCity
Yesss, when I watched their 1977 concert on YT and ABBA: The Movie, I was stunned. I’ve Been Waiting For You and He Is Your Brother are also songs that sound good live
Me and I always makes me tearful
I love Tiger.
I was raised on ABBA and classic music, I love it ^^
People often wonder why ABBA is such a guilty pleasure for many. Some cite the obvious Disco influence in some of their songs but that's the thing; only some and certainly not all have that music style so it can't be that. Others cite the fact English wasn't their first language giving the songs an innocent sense and highly accessible nature. I disagree, the lyrics to their songs are actually quite complex and the topics of their songs are often unconventional and deep in a way that it finds its way in everyone's experience either because they can relate to the message or because the music grabs at something that can't be put into words and ABBA is damn good at that. That is no simplistic effort and I'd say they have a better command of the English language than most native English speakers do. So language barriers aren't what makes their songs frothy and childlike to the point they are guilty pleasures because their song catalogue is far from cheap and simple.
I truly believe their music is a guilty pleasure for many for the same reason musical theatre is a guilty pleasure for many. It is no coincidence that ABBA's song catalogue is the basis of a smash hit Broadway musical. Their songs have more than just a hint of theatricality in them; they ARE very theatrical. Not only in their sound but also in the way they treat subject matter and how they always seem to be using music to deepen a story, to flesh it out, to make it real and to reach into us all and invoke that which cannot be said via the spoken word. And why is that a reason to want to hide it all and pretend you're less of a fan than you are? It's effective. You can't just be at a bar and hear an ABBA song come on and not feel like time is standing still. ABBA reaches in and pulls you in whether you like it or not. It makes you feel. Disco music with its beats and grand orchestral accompaniment had very much a similar theatricality that many people also resented. I think there is such a thing as music that is too effective; it begins to become intrusive if you don't plan to feel a certain way and it forces you to. Those of us who are able to handle the weight that these songs bring easily adapt and find them to be invigorating. Not everyone is able or willing to do that and so they wait until they are alone to enjoy the music that makes them feel, when they are ready to let their guard down.
I don't believe in bull fight efforts ABBA r a bunch of Aliens have invaded our universe music industry and cool, quietly , quickly and carried away,just look their songs,almost all r best in music but fucking don't resemble each other Let it be fast or soft no all r unique in their category,will stay the best. HS Bafila
Their mysic brings back so many memories. I remember my parents always play them in the morning and evening :")
"My Love, My Life" is probably the least known and most underrated song of ABBA. IMO, it's one of their best songs.
Jo Gat
It is my favorite ABBA song, but it isn’t the most underrated. Maybe songs from Ring-Ring have underrated songs like I Am Just A Girl
"My Love,My Life" is a masterpiece ( and that's saying something with ABBA).Be in the top 5,certainly.
OMG yeesssssss!!!!!
La mejor agrupación que e escuchado y visto en estos 46 sños en que los vi por primera ves y a un a pesar de tantos años los sigo viendo y escuchando sus videos como la primera ves que tuve la fortuna de ver sus videos musicales
These guys are very talented, I love every single one of them
What good is the list when "Chiquitita" and "Voulez Vous" doesn't make it in the top ten????
My personal top ten favourite ABBA Songs:
10. Lay all your love on me.
9. Take a chance on me.
8. SOS.
7. The Winner Takes it all.
6. Super Trouper.
5. Gimme Gimme Gimme ( A Man after midnight).

1. Dancing Queen.
Compare to my top 15 list above. Yeah... it's about taste or preference.
Just the best band ever. Music is ethereal and eternal. Vocals which will never be matched. So good to live during Abba times
Honestly ABBA is the pop band with the most hits I know, for me the best ever. Thank you for the music ABBA.
Thank you for this moment 😃I feel much better now!
ABBA has always been underrated (imo). The singing and music are deceptively complicated.
mbear1 honestly, I feel like ABBA is at the same time overplayed and underappreciated. People instantly think "Dancing Queen" and write them off as a superficial disco band. So much so that the rest of their endless collection of fantastic music is left forgotten. it's unfortunate, as they have a lot of depth to their music :/
mbear1 Especially the piano fills in SOS.
mbear1 Underrated?? How?
mbear1 BBM no they are not ,the entire world already knew who they are ,and how awesome they are ,maybe in US they are underatted ,but i dont know exactly
Underrated:
SOS
The Winner Takes It All
Honorable Mention:
On and On and On (It's in my top 3)
The Name Of The Game
I don't think they're underrated, they're super popular songs
+Owen Reese I Think All this top 10 songs and Honorable Mentions are Super Popoulat Songs But
SOS at #9 and
The Winner Takes It All at #6
They are underrated in this ranking... They should be #1 and #2 in my opinion
You forgot The Day before You Came, best by far imho(It belongs between songs like Trans Europa Express from Kraftwerk en Hallogallo from Neu!), followed by The Winner Takes It All. The Visitors is also great.
Who else fell in love with ABBA in 2020? 😘😘😍❤❤❤
What great memories there songs bring back from the 70s. A great time to be alive !
how about thank you for the music?
+Camilo Garcia Ylasaari I know right! :O
Yes ! This is one of my favorites!
Yass! my favorite song!
god no. Horrendous and facile. It was a sales flop!!
Before they mentioned Dancing Queen I truly believed they saved this song for the winner!
Pretty good list. Good job.
10. Money, Money, Money
9. Voulez Vous
8. Mamma Mia
7. Chaquititia
6. I Have a Dream
5. Knowing Me, Knowing You
4. Waterloo
3. Take a Chance on Me
2. Dancing Queen
1. The Winner Takes It All
Chiquita
Best band ever
The Bee Gees were the best band ever. ABBA was #2.
The Beach Boys are the best band!! Abba is second :)
The Beatles is the best band by facts but Abba is pretty good too
Abba, my favorite band ever.
Such harmony. What a great group.
Oh I just cant get enough of ABBA.they are my all time favorite group.i like all their songs
Eagle
One of us
Heads over heels. .. should have been included in the honorable mention as well
The Name of the Game? How can you leave that out, that is just outright ludicrous. That is probably Top 3 in ABBA songs.
I totally agree , one of their best songs period
Yesssss!
Definitely my number 2
My favorites are Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen. I love them soo much. (:
Me too, and happy New Years as well
Chiquitita all the way
What happened with. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC ? Absolutely a MASTERPIECE!!!!!
Mockingjay "HASTA MAÑANA" is such a simple yet well built song, beautiful melody and beautifuly sang. Should be included also.
*PERFECTION.*
Honorable mentions include Love Isn't Easy, When I Kissed The Teacher, Eagle, Does Your Mother Know?, Kisses Of Fire, Happy New Year, Our Last Summer, Andante Andante, The Piper, One Of Us, and I Let The Music Speak. Hell it should've been a top 20 or even 30 lol I disagree with most of the list but Mamma Mia, S.O.S, and Dancing Queen definitely belonged there. The Album, Voulez-vous and Super Trouper (my favorite) are damn near perfect albums. Yes I am in love with this band.

And just when you gave up hope for 2021…ABBA IS BACK BABY!!! 👏👍👏👍👏With 2 new songs out
“I still have faith in you” and “Don’t shut me down “
All these years later and they sound as fresh as ever. Their new album is going to shatter records.
ABBA forever!!!
No one’s music makes me feel happier than abba’s does
True
Agree. I always feel much better while listening to ABBA!
@@kenw.1112 their new album will be amazing
Gime gime gime uf una obra de arte 💽👌💯 el tono es algo increíble 👍
So glad i was a teenager in the 70s, when Abba was churning out hit after hit. We danced!!
Dancing queen is my favourite
Dancing queen will never get old man never
THOSE GOOD LOOKING SWEDISH PEOPLE 😍😘
No wonder Napoleon surrendered!
Thank you!!!!
especially Agnetha....she was so hot!
ABBA is my favourite band, every time that I listen to their songs is like the first time I heard them: they're simply wonderful!!!
Totally agree
We all knew dancing queen was going to be #1
No way, The Eagle is the best they ever did. ( And it isnt even on the list ?) Also where are One of us, The visitors, Marionette , I kissed the teacher and Slipping though my fingers ?
To many good songs, i listen to everything they did once every year from beginning to end and it always gets me in a really happy mood.
For the last years i also came to love " I let the music speak" and "The day before you came" but that might just be me ?
Roberth Pilesund " Happy new year" ? really not even that one ???
Roberth Pilesund
Because it's a top 10 obviously, if they did a top 20 or whatever, more of those songs would be in
Well, list is obvious compatible with American taste. But, Benny Andersson once said that Pete Townshand asked him if he knew that "S.O.S." is the best pop song ever written. I could agree with him.
Did you really mentioned Marionette one of their all time worst songs ever? I'm absolutely stunned but oh well.
