The worst song they ever did will win: that's the dirge known as Dancing Queen.

I can't agree with that. I know what you mean about the song - it's useless for any kind of dancing, but you clearly have not experienced their full oeuvre.

"Dum Dum Diddle" and "Put on your White Sombrero" spring to mind as offerings that make "DQ" sound like a masterpiece.

I can't agree with that.

That is OK. You are allowed to be wrong.

That's a fair comment. It's the worst one on the list.

I voted for The Name of The Game, The Winner Takes It All, Take A Chance On Me, The Day Before You Came, and Money Money Money.

Was 'The Day Before You Came' an ABBA track, I thought one of the ladies released it as a solo artist? Either way, I prefer Blancmange's version... Off to vote now.

My favourite track. Was at the ABBA museum last December. An amazing experience. The hype is totally true.
