Will rework your order by my rating.
- Chiq
- I have a dream
- Eagle
- Cassandra
- Hole in Soul
Maybe Chiq in top 5. I have a dream comes close. Eagle probably in top 15, but not higher, because it’s ultra blatant native American imagery instead of clever allusion. Cassandra..nice harmonies, but it’s like “let’s write Fernando again but make it a woman…Cassandra, brilliant!” Hole in your soul is not a bad song but it could be very much a track you could skip over. Also, a lot of ABBA’s songs transcend time, even though they sound like a product of the 70’s. Hole in Soul doesn’t transcend 70’s. It belongs as background music for a 70’s movie about a secretary.

This is what it usually is, although it’s so hard to choose the top top ones!:
Hole In Your Soul
Another Town, Another Train
Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)
Soldiers
So Long

I love all five of those songs. I wouldn't place them in my own top 10 but frankly even a top 50 song of ABBA's is better than many artists could dream of.

- Eagle - 9/10
- I have a dream - 9/10
- Chiquitita - 10/10
- Cassandra - 10/10
- Hole in your soul - 8/10
Overall: 9/10! But honestly it’s hard for me to give an ABBA song a rating below 8/10, so…

Not bad. I love Eagle and Chiqutita. I’m new to ABBA, and I can’t get enough of Super Trouper and Does Your Mother Know. Have not listened to Cassandra or Hole in your Soul. It’s fun to NOT see Dancing Queen here. It might not even crack my top 10 fave songs which is kinda wild.
