Please let me know, because I'm genuinely curious.

 

Which Abba songs, except Does Your Mother Know, feature someone other than Anni-Frid and Agnetha on lead vocals?

As I think I'm the biggest fan here of ABBA, I'll answer you - very few. They never had guest lead vocalists, and the boys did not like doing lead vocals, but anyway:

 

From Ring Ring:

Another Town, Another Train (Bjorn, ditto the German version Wer Im Wartesaal Die Liebe Steht)

He Is Your Brother (all four)

Hej Gamle Man (Bjorn, also the German version Hey Musikant)

I Am Just A Girl (All four)

I Saw It In The Mirror (Bjorn & Benny)

Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough) (All four)

Man In The Middle (Bjorn (and maybe Benny))

Merry-Go-Round (all four, and the Swedish version En Karusell)

People Need Love (all four)

Rock N Roll Band (Bjorn and Benny)

She's My Kind Of Girl (Bjorn and Benny)

Suzy Hang-Around (Benny, his only solo lead vocal)

Åh, vilka tider (Bjorn and Benny)

 

From Waterloo:

Honey, Honey (all four, and the Swedish version)

King Kong Song (all four)

Rock Me (Bjorn)

Sitting In The Palmtree (Bjorn)

Watch Out (Bjorn)

 

From Arrival:

Why Did It Have To Be Me (Bjorn, Agnetha & Frida)

 

From The Album:

Move On (Bjorn on the first verse)

 

From Voulez-Vous:

Medley (all four)

Summer Night City (all four)

 

From The Visitors:

Two For The Price Of One (Bjorn)

 

Unreleased/box set

Burning My Bridges (Bjorn)

Crazy World (Bjorn)

Crying Over You (Bjorn)

Free As A Bumble Bee (Bjorn & Benny)

Givin' A Little Bit More (Bjorn)

Here Comes Rubie Jamie (Bjorn)

I Am An A (all four)

Sång till Görel (All four, plus Stig Andersson (their manager))

Santa Rosa (Bjorn and Benny)

 

OK, more than I thought :o

 

Sitting In The Palmtree was dire :lol:

Post deleted, since I can't read.....

 

I seem to remember having on hand an alternate version of Waterloo, in English, where, Bjorn, on occasion, can be heard interjecting 'oh yeah!'.....it's on a rarities cd that's been previously mentioned a couple of posts above...

You're totally right, it's on the Complete Recordings box set, it was also on a mispressing of the original 7".

Oh god it's awful :lol: But not as bad as I Saw It In The Mirror :lol:

That is dreadful too :lol:

 

I think Sitting In The Palmtree stands out more for me because Waterloo was the first studio album of theirs I bought, and when it came on after the title track, I was thinking "Oh no, their album tracks are going to be dire! :(" :lol: . Thankfully the album turned around with Hasta Manana, My Mama Said and Dance :wub:

Super Trouper was the first album I bought, apart from Gold. Good choice I think :wub: Arrival was their first really good album IMHO, and even that had Dum Dum Diddle :lol:

"ABBA" was really good I thought, well Hey Hey Helen and Man In The Middle aside. Voulez-Vous and The Visitors were by far their best though. Arrival tends to steal their limelight though, probably because of Dancing Queen - Apart from about 4 tracks, I've never been a huge fan of the Arrival material.
