What is yours? I do have a few. So Long, Two For the Price of One, Man in the
Middle, Our Last Summer (the Mamma Mia version of this is 5 times better than
the original -- Frida sounds drugged in the original), and to be honest I've
never been crazy about Andante, Andante or Honey, Honey either.

I am just a girl would fall into this slot for me ...(I think it's just
awful and set the feminist movement back a hundred years ...fortunately they
redeemed themselves with Hey Hey Helen)...yup Man in the middle is a bit of
a fizzer too...

the rest would include the following
Chiquitita (must resist to do some old world peasant folk dancing at the end
of this one)
Disillusion ( almost funereal)
Slipping Through my fingers (sounds like someone signing through a rusty
can)
The Day before you came (sounds like a another dirge)
Happy New Year/Felicidad ( anything but)
Thankyou for the music ( I could slash my wrists everytime I here
this...it's truly awful...I'd rather listen to Chiquitita on repeat than
this ....but that's only my opinion guys before you send hate mail.........)

cheers for now

HONEY HONEY IS ONE OF THE BEST ABBA SONGS EVER.

It's not that bad and no, it didn't set the feminist movement back a hundred
years...I think it's one of the better tracks from the "Ring, Ring" album.
However, some of the other songs from that album leave a lot to be desired:
"Man In The Mirror" is the worst of the bunch.
As far as songs from other albums are concerned, I still dislike "Angeleyes"
and "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)" from "Voulez-Vous" -- "Chiquitita" isn't
that far behind on that list. "You Owe Me One" is another song...it's terrible.
In all liklihood, had ABBA finished their follow up to "The Visitors," YOMO
probably wouldn't have been on the album. "I Am The City" doesn't have that
much appeal for me, either.

My least favourite ABBA songs would be: "Sitting In the Palmtree", "King Kong
Song", "What about Livingstone", "Watchout", "Dum Dum Diddle", "Should I Laugh or
Cry" and "You Owe Me One".

I have a love/hate these songs: "Ring Ring" and "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do".

It's funny, Peter, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some
people's least favourite songs are amongst my favourites. They say
they hate them, I say they rock hard. How the hell can that be? Is one
of us wrong? Or deaf? Or stupid? Or unable to tell a good song when we
hear one? Anyway, I find,

"I have a dream", "Gonna Sing You My Love Song", "Thankyou For the
Music", "I've been waiting for you" etc., all a bit slow and
ponderous. But the list of their songs I really dig is much longer...
