The worst song they ever did will win: that's the dirge known as Dancing Queen.

I voted for Dancing Queen (just to annoy Jeremy), Winner takes it all, Thank you for the music, and I can't remember the other two. If I only had one vote, it'd be Winner takes it all.

I can't agree with that. I know what you mean about the song - it's useless for any kind of dancing, but you clearly have not experienced their full oeuvre.

"Dum Dum Diddle" and "Put on your White Sombrero" spring to mind as offerings that make "DQ" sound like a masterpiece.

That is OK. You are allowed to be wrong.

That's a fair comment. It's the worst one on the list.

Was 'The Day Before You Came' an ABBA track, I thought one of the ladies released it as a solo artist? Either way, I prefer Blancmange's version... Off to vote now.

My favourite track. Was at the ABBA museum last December. An amazing experience. The hype is totally true.
