July 25, 201410 yr I can barely stand Dancing Queen anymore - and it takes a LOT for me to feel an ABBA track has been overplayed. Pretty brilliant top 6, arranged in a different order they'd probably be my own ABBA top 6 (with maybe Voulez-Vous, The Day Before You Came and Our Last Summer getting a look-in too).
July 25, 201410 yr The Day Before You Came, Under Attack, Summer Night City, The Winner Takes It All and Lay All Your Love On Me have been my top 5 for about 5 years, they change order a bit, though TDBYC is almost always #1. 6-20 could include any of about 30 songs depending on how I feel, they really do have about 40 genuinely amazing pop songs in their back catalogue.
July 25, 201410 yr Eagle is criminally underrated :( gah! It's all about the extended guitar solo's in the album version *.*
July 25, 201410 yr It's all about the extended guitar solo's in the album version *.*Â I quite agree my dear man.
July 25, 201410 yr Author Deserved winner. Very underrated : Nina, Pretty Ballerina, Hasta Manana, Happy New Year My top 3 ABBA songs always was/is/would : Honey Honey, That's Me and When I Kissed A Teacher. Â
July 25, 201410 yr Why is 'Does Your Mother Know' so sodding low :angry: Disgrace :nono:Â I didn't notice this :o I quite agree. It's pretty brilliant for showing a different side to them.
July 25, 201410 yr 00 : Fernando Because of this it seems. Well, with only 5 rates or so it's quite easy for something to skew... Poor Fernando, it's a perfect pop ballad. :(
July 25, 201410 yr How are the HEAVENLY When All Is Said And Done and the excellent Head Over Heels behind Ring Ring and I Have A Dream and outside the top 20? :(Â Then again, I apparently didn't vote in this and don't even recall seeing it open!
July 25, 201410 yr I didn't vote either which renders my opinion less important, but I reckon things would have been quite different if even us 2 had voted. Â Oh and this might seem like BLASPHEMY, but I think Does Your Mother Know is actually BETTER in Mamma Mia, it sounds a lot less creepy when a woman is singing it (I know, sexist) and obv The Baranski can do no wrong *grabs crotch and adjusts tits*
July 25, 201410 yr To counter that with a lot more blasphemy, for a long time I preferred the male version of Lay All Your Love On Me from the film. I'm not sure why, it just seems to click in the context of the film and I can buy it being flipped round that way - although of course the original then regrew on me and I now sit with most normal people on that. It's so nice when a big group really changes tack (in this case by changing the normal female vocals for male) that I can't help but love DYMK though - even though Baranski did do a great job of it.
July 26, 201410 yr Author Poor Fernando, it's a perfect pop ballad. :( It's worst ABBA song. Brotherhood's "copycats" "Angelo" and "Figaro" are miles better. :wub: Â
July 26, 201410 yr I can barely stand Dancing Queen anymore -  Me neither and it's one of my least fave Abba songs. Fernando is my favourite. Will do the rate later.
