99 Absolutely Best ABBA songs

in other words everyone!

Another session of ABBA-listenings has filled my last week - for which time in the history...?

So now I feel the simple passion for making a complete list - of how much I adore every song, compared to each other. Even though this will drown in everyone elses ABBA listings, I have some really unexpected darlings.

Last time I did this was during final days of -04, before new year -05, soon ten years ago. Discovered every bonus track and version I hadn't heard until then... many via the box "Thank You For The Music" compiled -94.

Believed I would feel almost the same for them now, but some tunes have actually fallen from the tower, while others have risen surprisingly high.

At least tried to weigh in the lyrics as much as the music and moods of the melodies. And since very exact positions are relative, I've also taken the chance to make my list a bit poetic (as I use to do).
