I only know the singles but Under Attack would be my favourite from those 30. It looks like Lay All Your Love On Me is about to be crowned as Buzzjack's favourite song from Abba Gold but I see it's only 89th on your list.

The most singles are very low in my ranking, but they have many hidden gems in their discography. smile.gif

"The Name Of The Game" and "The Day Before You Came" haven't aged well for me, some years ago both songs were much higher in my ranking.

Interesting selection : Two lovely tracks from "Ring Ring", overplayed "Dancing Queen", the highest song from "ABBA" album and the first mentioned track from mini-musical "The Girl with the Golden Hair".

# 19. Two For The Price Of One



"Two for the Price of One" was recorded for "The Visitors" album, but sounds like their early songs.

Cute song with the one from my favourite lyrics in ABBA tracks.

# 17. Dream World



"Dream World" was recorded in September 1978 during sessions for "Voulez-Vous". However, composers Benny and Björn ultimately decided that "Dream World" was not suitable for release, and instead agreed to scrap the recording.

The melody and chord sequence of the middle-eight of "Dream World" were re-used, with different lyrics, as the bridge for the middle-eight of the song "Does Your Mother Know", later released as the second single from "Voulez-Vous".

Before the work with this countdown I didn't know this song. smile.gif
