The Winner's Gonna Take It All: The final...

[2014]

I'm very tempted to do this...I've been wanting to properly get into Abba for a while now.

 

[Remorque]

Is anything in this rate lower than a 3.5?

Nope, but I'm also here for a 3.5 to go to I Have A Dream and for it to be the first single out, kii.

I gave out a 3 and a 4... One went to a b-side and one went to a single.

I actually low-key bop to Two for the Price of One...

This actually makes me really happy. I'm hoping you'll chime in!

 

[Txetxu]

If It Wasn't For The Nights for Top 3!!

[Angeleyes]

I already have my scores decided, I'm just waiting to send until I have more time to write commentary.

To anyone trying these albums for the first time, don't let the first two alarm you - the albums get better and better with the years.

 

[ChrisV]

THIS is the rate I have been waiting for! I have never participated in one on here before, do I just PM the results to @Remorque?

It's been a few years since I have given their discography a full run through. I tend to neglect their first two and a half albums, so this will be a good opportunity to get reacquainted.

Yes, you just send them to me in private PM.

I have included a nice easy-to-PM list of songs in a spoiler in the first post.

 

[Mikey1701]

Just slipped Dancing Queen on to my straight friends playlist and every single straight guy in the room got their life.

 

[VivaForever]

Perched.

@Remorque please don't let me forget to do this.

 

[Omar God]

Since I know most of these songs I might give this a bash. The only album I'm a bit rusty on is the first one.
And yep, If It Wasn't For Nights really does deserve a to be up there near the top but so does As Good As New.

 

[Deleted member 3416]

Okay the first album is a bit of a rough listen personally.... but things definitely improve from there.



This has been my rate discovery so far. Beautiful. Still got plenty of tracks to listen to. Also so many potential 11's that it's gonna be cruel to choose.

 

[Angeleyes]

I'm hoping that's a sign that I've Been Waiting For You won't be underappreciated in this rate - it's a beautiful song that's often overlooked. The scene of them performing it in The Movie is one of my favorites!

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

I will admit, am totally clueless with all their albums! This apart from the classic singles of course, will be a new experience that's for sure.

 

[Reboot]

I want to try this, but I'm only familiar with their singles so it depends on how much time I'm gonna have over the next few weeks.

 

[Remorque]

I was normally only going to give you four weeks, but then I realized there are 8 albums and just over a 100 songs.

I know it can look a bit daunting, but if you listen to two albums a week you can definitely get there. Next to that they've got an insane amount of singles that you certainly all know.

Ring Ring and Waterloo can be a bit of a chore (especially the first one as it's schlager music), but from then on you're in for quite a few surprises.

Which album would you say is most accessible for new listeners?

 

[Eric Generic]

Which album would you say is most accessible for new listeners?

Super Trouper, maybe. Or Voulez-Vous.

 

[Remorque]

Which album would you say is most accessible for new listeners?

Voulez-Vous for having that poppy disco sound, Arrival if you want hits and Super Trouper for excellent songwriting.

 

[Doodvid]

JUST LIKE THAT 12/10

It dead on 100, you've no Track 12 on The Visitors list.

Prepare for an inordinate number of 10s.
