"S.O.S." would be mine. However, Blancmange's cover of "The Day Before You Came" is astounding. I've never heard the original, but I was told that it's an ABBA tune.

Don't laugh, but I really believe they had too many good songs to list here. If memory serves correctly, their original Greatest Hits album was the first LP I ever bought (albeit, it was on 8-track). I'd say any song from that album was a favorite at on

My best friend in my pre-teen years, about 1976-78, was Swedish-born, and being her friend during those formative times left me with a lingering fondness for Wasa bread and . . . ABBA! (Even when ABBA was not remotely cool or even camp.)

I have to admit that I am a closet ABBA fan and have been since I was 7 years old! The first single I ever bought was "Does Your Mother Know That You're Out?" by ABBA. Some of their songs,near the 80s, had a slightly new wave feel, such as on the Vistor
