What's your favorite ABBA song?

I've always found something cool about "Fernando." There's a romantic feel to it that I like. ("SOS" was one of the first songs with non-major/minor chords that I learned to play on guitar!)

Take a Chance on Me is probably my favorite, but I'm not sure how much of that has to do with the Erasure version.

I would sooner vote for a Democrat or hop on the "Global Warning" bandwagon than listen to any of the inane "music" by ABBA. Like Buttercup, I am not pretending. ABBA sort of reminds me of the sound of running fingernails down a chalkboard. Sadly you did not allow a reasonable option like "I detest Abba and all groups like them", therefore I could not vote.
When I was like 19 I scored a cpl free tickets to an Abba concert (don't remember how).
So, I went and told Tracey Wilson, "Hey Tracey, want to go to a concert this weekend?"
Tracey got all excited and said, "Sure! Who's playing"?
I said, "Abba"!
She looked at me like I'd just told a really bad dead baby joke and said, "Abba"!?!
I said, "Yeah", and started whistling Fernando in a desperate attempt to change her whole opinion of the band right then and there.
Didn't work. In fact I couldn't get anyone to go with me. In fact I couldn't even give the tickets away.
That's when I realized I wasn't really one of the cool kids.
But screw 'em, I still like Abba.

I love fun music, it definitely doesn't have to be serious! I don't think ABBA was trying to be fun ...I think they were serious with their music.Ðanisty;911773 said:
Fun music to me is the Offspring, Blind Melon, The B52's, Beck, Beastie Boys...etc. Of course a person's idea of fun is subjective just like musical taste.
Don't forget Oingo Boingo and They Might Be Giants.
For the record, I like ABBA. I like them like I like Saturday Night Fever and David Hasselhoff.
Peace,

"Take a Chance on Me"
I graduated from high school when I was seventeen, and decided not to go to college right away. I worked full-time in fast food for a year, then decided to take off the summer I was eighteen and have some fun. I worked at a concession stand at the lake, which involved very little actual work and lots of hanging out, and went on frequent road trips with friends. ABBA was popular that year, and I bought The Album during my first-ever visit to Atlanta in 1978. It was a fun summer, the last summer that all I worried about was having fun, and ABBA was fun. Good memories.
