Mamma Mia! Here we go again with the long-awaited return of ABBA with a magical new album - the first in forty years! My my, oh how much I've missed them, and they've barely aged at all in the video for their lovely new single: "I Still Have Faith in You" (featured below), but which of ABBA's nine studio albums is your favourite? 1973: ABBA - Ring Ring - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kFZ1F___4Iw3JsDonzF4bWWJCJ5EeVZAE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kFZ1F___4Iw3JsDoNzF4bWWJCJ5EeVZAE 1974: ABBA - Waterloo - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nFORwCuBW2NooffCJ45PA9-0MgZA0l64g" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nFORwCuBW2NooffCJ45PA9-0MgZA0l64g 1975: ABBA - ABBA - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k5CKBNbSpetWuIDWNNHChIRY6fMQqcn6o" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k5CKBNbSpetWuIDWNNHChIRY6fMQqcn6o  1976: ABBA - Arrival - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kOnW3BfzZ9ep4oHKxXVd-YXCwOLeRT4mU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kOnW3BfzZ9ep4oHKxXVd-YXCwOLeRT4mU 1977: ABBA - The Album - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m8UrT38dfztIDWhp7WBD84IuJIdBl_4wY" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m8UrT38dfztIDWhp7WBD84IuJIdBl_4wY 1979: ABBA - Voulez-Vous - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kKVzXOMHN7YSA-RYRIJH5-VENEqGaFGdQ" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kKVzXOMHN7YSA-RYRIJH5-VENEqGaFGdQ 1980: ABBA - Super Trouper - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nfbdHZA0VilB7SVhxGZVbWRZPO7vcvxcI" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nfbdHZA0VilB7SVhxGZVbWRZPO7vcvxcI  1981: ABBA - The Visitors - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l2j6c-5-nsg_DE_Vr3W07Lh0AhiJQhDww" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l2j6c-5-nsg_DE_Vr3W07Lh0AhiJQhDww 2021: ABBA - Voyage - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kay01Xel0LaimQ6kMT4gH70ieHQ3L35eM" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kay01Xel0LaimQ6kMT4gH70ieHQ3L35eM |

I was a huge fan as a child before discovering more exciting music and leaving soft pop. By now I know so much music that I can appreciate much better how special they were with what they did, so I have rediscovered much of their stuff. The Album > The Visitors, Arrival. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

It's like Lewian says, you listened to it as a kid, and as an adult you appreciate and value it for its full significance! Besides, great songs can tolerate many versions, and they have them. It's hard to choose a favorite among the early versions, but I'll stick with the 1975 self-titled version.

| I honestly find a lot of ABBA's music more impressive than most things Prog. The compository skills, the arrangements, the vocal harmonies in their peak era ca. 1975-1981 is peak popular music. |
