Oh well, each to their own .

Your taste for ABBA I can understand...Barry Manilow is in a different category.

I feel a little guilty for maligning Barry Manilow in the Bermuda Triangle thread (although that particular track is toilet). So to make up for it, here are three of Mr Manilow's top toons:

Status: offline 		I realised this morning that I have not got an ABBA playlist on my Ipod. I know roight?

Anyway, I intend to rectify that glaring omission by selecting 10-12 tracks. From comments recently I know that this will be an eagerly anticipated event so stay tuned as I count down the official bestest ABBA tracks of all time

Edit: Yeah right. 10-12? Impossible to whittle down less than 20.

No.20 I do, I do, I do, I do, I do (1975) UK Singles chart highest position No.38

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW3HN_pvbE4

Nice sax. A fun, rousing song that beautifully show cases the girls incredible voices - unmistakeably early ABBA but their second best toon from that time.

No.19 Knowing Me, Knowing You (1977) UK Singles chart highest position No.1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUrzicaiRLU

One of only two tracks that made it from the album Arrival. A bittersweet track - there are one or two of those coming up. Great lyrics. And Frida looked nice here too

No.18 My Love, My Life (1976) UK Singles chart highest position No. Not a single?

Sadly this track is blocked on You Tube

Sung by Agnetha, this beautiful record is sad as heck.....

As I don't want to disappoint all you ABBA fans out there I will instead attach the track that just failed to make the 20. From the same album its:

Dum, Dum Diddle

As a parent I can really identify with this song. It's about your child growing up. Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.

Another track with Agnetha as lead, but their voices worked so beautifully together it is sometimes difficult to tell. And its another sad story of love gone wrong.

No.15 Happy New Year UK Singles chart highest position - not a single in the UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uo0JAUWijM

Don't get me wrong this is still a quality song but probably got its place in the 20 more for sentimental reasons. To sing about what will happen in 10 years i.e. 1989 is a bit sobering to us oldies....

Were ABBA getting political with this one? No one knows - the band aren't saying but it was banned in the USSR.....

Another departure for the Swedish maestros with a sort of synthpop sound. Frida takes control of the singing for this one.

Well be prepared for one or two shocks. But I can confirm we have:

3 tracks from Voulez-vous
3 tracks from The Album
2 tracks from Super Trouper
1 track from The Visitors
and 1 track from the self-styled ABBA album.

I trust you can contain yourselves.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxv2vF9S0bY

This is the second track included, at least in part, for sentimental reasons. This song always takes me back to a more simple time - playing Waterloo with Airfix HO/OO figures with my big bruvver. The song is an upbeat number with a good bass line and I love the 'string' sound that starts the track off.

Another Agnetha led song and a bouncy fast paced synth based piece of pop with another great into.
