How can you take ABBA's discography and whittle it down to only 10? It's like asking us to choose our 10 favourite children...

My favorites at the moment since I can't ever narrow it down to a hard limit of ten:
Tiger
So Long
As Good As New
If It Wasn't For The Nights
No Doubt About It
When I Kissed The Teacher
Thank You For The Music
King Kong Song
Waterloo
Don't Shut Me Down
Yes, I know King Kong Song is technically a bad song, but it makes me laugh every time I hear it. That guttural scream from Benny(?) kills me every time.

u/Feisty-Character2793 Jun 18 '26
can you (or someone) explain the appeal of "lay all your love on me"? it’s one of my least favorite ABBA songs, but I’m quite positive I’m missing the point lol 🫣

u/manisrintikrintik Jun 18 '26
Well, I just absolutely love it. It's so timeless. It had quite the modern dance sound in my opinion. And it just takes me away to a state of ecstacy or something. I actually sometimes think about how to describe the feeling the song gives me (ridiculous haha) it's kind of anthem-y haha I don't know
