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. [&:]

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.

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.

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 [:)]

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

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.
