BuzzJack Music Forum _ 20th Century Retro _ ABBA GOLD: SURVIVOR - ROUND 11
Posted by: Leonardo 10th April 2018, 04:56 PM
I’ve taken it upon myself to launch my own survivor poll type thing, this one is for one of the biggest selling album of all times and also (sort of) coincides with the buzz around Mamma Mia again. The rules are simple please vote for YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE and every couple of days I will eliminate the song with the most votes until we have a winner.
LATEST ELIMINATED
10th Place - Waterloo (8/34 votes, 23.53%)
11th Place - Fernando (14/31 votes, 45.16%)
12th Place - Money Money Money (11/34 votes, 32.35%)
13th Place - Super Trouper (8/39 votes, 20.51% FLASH VOTE: 12/22 votes, 54.55%)
14th Place - Chiquitita (6/34 votes, 17.65%)
15th Place - Thank You For The Music (16/36 votes, 44.44%)
16th Place - One of Us (11/32 votes, 34.38%)
17th Place - Does Your Mother Know (9/29 votes, 31.03%)
18th Place - The Name Of The Game (10/28 votes, 37.04%)
19th Place - I Have A Dream (6/23 votes, 26.09%)
Starting the top ten off is ABBA's first hit in the UK and the song that propelled them to superstardom. 'Waterloo' was the the winning entry of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. It stayed at #1 for two weeks, keeping Mud's "The Cat Crept In" from the top spot and holding off The Rubette's "Sugar Baby Love" for a week.
This was a closer round than the last couple. Both "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "Lay All Your Love On Me" gained 6 votes, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" was one behind with 5 votes and "SOS" recieved 4. "Dancing Queen" had two voters, "Take A Chance On Me", "The Winner Takes It All" and "Mamma Mia" all had a soliatary vote, and "Voulez-Vous" had no votes for the third consecutive round.

I have a feeling this round may be traumatic.

Again voting 'Knowing Me Knowing You'

Surprised but pleased that 'Waterloo' is out already, that was second in line for the chopping block. But first in line is 'Dancing Queen' so I've gone for that again.

I will have to think about this one. So far I voted for Super Trouper until it went out and then Waterloo. As there are no contests going on this week,I should have time to listen to the remaining songs to remind me.

SOS is classic, in fact all the remaining tracks are epic - there are 2 that are less epic than the others though, and one of them was sampled by Madonna and used as a TV sitcom title....

Tough! Went for Knowing Me, Knowing You. Though all left are great tracks!

Please just stop voting

It's super overrated!

Aw no I forgot to vote in the last round (not that my vote for 'Dancing Queen' would have made any difference). You people better not be having the cheek to vote 'Lay All Your Love On Me' out before some of the shit still on the list.
I voted for 'Dancing Queen'. x

'Lay All Your Love On Me' again for me, easily the weakest one left, although it's still a fantastic song

Knowing Me, Knowing You

Madonna slaughtered the sample tbh, like Vanilla Ice level of sampling a 10/10 song to create something drab
Posted by: HarryEzra 15th April 2018, 12:00 PM
Voulez-Vous
Posted by: bigwiglaf 18th April 2018, 02:48 AM
