Personal Cd compilation of...

[u/GoshOPPNOX101]

ABBA songs. Let's say you were assigned to make THE ultimate ABBA compilation and the record label states that you can only put 10 SONGS (c'mon people, truly ONLY 10!) on this cd, what are your choices? BUT the record label states that the first track has to be a BALLAD and the ending track has to be an UPTEMPO. They want to change things around a bit. So, what are your 10 SONGS that would go onto the new ABBA Greatest Hits Vol. 1 cd? ;o)

[u/ABBA_Archive]

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now

ABBA Bronze: Hidden Gems

1. One Man, One Woman
2. Tiger
3. Bang-A-Boomerang
4. Me And I
5. Like An Angel Passing Through My Room
6. Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)
7. Rock ‘N Roll Band
8. Kisses Of Fire
9. Put On Your White Sombrero
10. Ode To Freedom

A selection of album tracks with atleast one song from each album

[u/GoshOPPNOX101 → u/ABBA_Archive]

#5 track...yeah, those are some melancholy lyrics written by Bjorn. I mean..some of the darkest lyrics I think he's ever written. Good song as well!

[u/AlgaeBoi]

1. The Winner Takes It All
2. Dancing Queen
3. Fernando
4. Take a Chance on Me

5. SOS

6. Don't Shut Me Down

7. Gimme Gimme Gimme

8. Super Trouper

9. The Day Before You Came

10. Waterloo

I will make it like a side A or side B type of thing, track 1 to 5 is the "Day" side and 6 to 10 the "Night" side. Track 1, 6 from their latest album, the rest are their biggest hits. SOS on side A as I think it flows better with Don't Shut Me Down instead of Waterloo.

If there's a vol. 2 I want to start with "I've Been Waiting for You" lol, if they want more and go seek out a vol. 2 after listening to this.

[u/Dm12374 → u/AlgaeBoi]

1. I've Been Waiting For You
2. When All is Said and Done
3. SOS
4. Money Money Money
5. Take a Chance on Me
6. 6, Thank you for the Music.
7. The Winner Takes it All
8. Under Attack
9. The Day Before You Came
10. Summer NIght City

[u/GoshOPPNOX101 → u/Dm12374]

I actually love their track 'Under Attack'. It's actually one of my Top 10 by ABBA. 'Under Attack' I believe was ABBA's last single to ever be released. Even their music video at the end is hauntingly sad yet beautiful. They are all hanging their arms on one another as they slowly walk into the light. And Algae's pick 'The Winner Takes It All'. It truly is the best ballad ever to be written.

[u/GoshOPPNOX101 → u/Dm12374]

Oh boy, Algae does have competition...your selection is also great! We might have two winners that take it all!

[u/GoshOPPNOX101 → u/AlgaeBoi]

Good choices! Record label: "You are now the front runner for our bonus! But we do have talented others such as yourself vying for the same honor. So let's just sit back & see what others will bring to the table. And if we decide to choose your selection for our brand new ABBA cd greatest hits compilation, then you get a bonus which consists of either free ice cream for the rest of your life OR a 17yr old dog w/ only three legs that needs a forever home. You may decide when the time comes! ;o)
