I note the following
- the 'serious' songs are the favourites amongst us
- The Voulez Vous songs and flop singles (bar the Day Before You Came) are the least popular
- Uptempo ABBA anthems - Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Waterloo - not so popular amongst voters here.


Thankyou for your votes for giving them to me....

[Johnny]

Here's a cover version of Super Trouper

[rubcale]

Love all the top 5 although slightly surprised SOS won.

I Have A Dream is seriously annoying.

Interestingly When All Is Said And Done was in the lower half so perhaps it might not have been the big hit some think.

[Johnny]

I'm not so sure When All Is Said and Done would have been a big hit. I think its success would have been nearer to The Day Before You Came than The Winner Takes it All.....

If I do one of theses "ratings" again I'll leave it opened longer

It seems Haven Members prefer the 'serious' songs more - especially with Agnetha on lead vocals. She has the Top 3, Frida the #4.

Suprisingly the 'disco' songs of Gimme Gimme Gimme and Lay All Your Love On Me are preferred to the 'pure pop' of Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia or Take a Chance On Me. Waterloo is not so popular.

The Voulez Vous singles are not so popular - or the flops from 1974-75.

Thanks for rating.
