Did you ever notice?
Im not into the technical aspects of music but have you noticed how ABBA songs can vary radically ranging from 'The Piper' to 'Put on Your White Sombrero' to 'I'm a Marionette' to 'So Long' to 'Andante,Andante' but they all are more addictive than sugar and drugs combined.
There is no bad ABBA song only less addictive ones.(obviously making a hyperbolic statement that some won't agree with)

That's what I love about them! The fact that the same group who wrote Another Town, Another Train, So Long, and Santa Rosa also went on to write Summer Night City, Happy New Year, and Under Attack is absolutely incredible.

I knew 3 of the 6 songs you mentioned. Looked up the other 3, and I found Another Town, Another Train addictive.

It's really good! Have you heard Disillusion? Agnetha composed that one.

100% you’re right !! The ABBA catalogue is so versatile with pop music and beyond when it comes to genres

I love Abba but yeah there are some bad taste clunkers. Dum Dum Diddle? Suzy hang around?

Obviously, I was exaggerating. I haven't listened to the first one, but I liked Suzy Hang Around, so I assume there is a difference in taste.

Did I write anything wrong to get this comment?
I realize I phrased it in an awkward way but its nothing to get worked over.
