    The mrs made me watch both Mama Mia films recently, hadn’t heard Andante Andante before but loved it! Thought the films were good as well to be fair, those sort usually not my cup of tea.

    I was far too cool – or thought I was – to like ABBA at the time, but looking back they wrote a whole host of great songs in a way only great bands like The Beatles could.

    Head Over Heels is, amid stiff competition, my favourite.

    Good choices! One of Us is another good one I’d forgotten.

    ‘The Winner Takes It All’ surely. Especially on TRF!

    Like Drone I am a KMKY fan – fantastic vocal harmonies. Others are Gimme, Gimmee, Gimmee and Summer Night City. But there is a whole host of great songs. Again it was uncool as a kid to like ABBA but as you grow older you appreciate how good some of the music was especially the vocal harmonies.

    I’ll throw this reflective one into the mix; featuring the best member of the band

    The Day Before You Came

    Mum and dad were massive fans so I could probably sing most of them still. Super Trouper is one of my favourites.
    And Muriel’s Wedding is one of my favourite films with great performances by all of the cast.

    One that sometimes goes under the radar but the one I particularly like is ‘Slipping Through My Fingers’.

    That and the yearning-cum-mournful guitar-break bridges

    The epitome of the beautifully crafted ‘pop’ song

    The Winner Takes it All is my answer but there are probably ten that you could make a good case for. Whether you are a fan or not, I don’t think anyone can deny that they produced a superb catalogue of pop music.

    Maybe mine is ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’.

    Thing is though,the magic of ABBA songs is that one could wake up on a different day in another mood and then choose a new favourite.

    Hasta Manana is probaby their most underrated song. It’s beautiful and charming.

    Nathan, I think this spoil Dancing Queen for me

    Anyway my favourite Abba song has to be CHIQUITITA

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.
