Mmmmm.....I'm not feeling the love here [:D]

Oh well, each to their own [:)].

Your taste for ABBA I can understand...Barry Manilow is in a different category. [&:]

It's not unusual.

Oh wait-that's Tom Jones. [;)]

Tom Jones...now there is a voice...at 76 he still has it! [:)]

Did someone say ABBA? [:D]

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:

No, Orm. No one said "ABBA". I don't think anyone's said "ABBA" since 1978. [:-] [;)]

As a result of the posts above I thought I would listen to a few ABBA classics. The next band in chronological order in my library is ABC.

So I kept the music going and it was great to hear these guys again. Here is a really rather beautiful toon

S.O.S - ABC

By coincidence one of ABBA's finest toons was also called SOS.

I realised this morning that I have not got an ABBA playlist on my Ipod. I know roight? [:D]

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.

[warspite1]

So here we go with the countdown. Stay tuned and don't get too excited [;)]

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.

[warspite1]

Choosing an order for these wonderful tunes is just impossible. I will keep in the order I first chose, but suspect some of these are misplaced. This next toon is a case in point. Even the brilliant Steve Coogan cannot ruin this song for me.... A-ha!!! [;)]

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 [:)]

[warspite1]

The next track is the second and last offering from Arrival.

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

EDIT: Please see post 4543 for My Love, My Life

[warspite1]

The next track is the first from The Visitors.

No.17 Slipping Through My Fingers (1981) - not a single in the UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PilSlKzhYn4

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