Move On and Our Last Summer are underrated
Nostalgic and thoughtful, imo.

Overrated - Dancing Queen, Thank You for the Music (no thanks)
Underrated - Summer Night City (left off ABBA Gold grrr!!), The Visitors Eagle Cassandra (relegated to B side only) Happy New Year SOS (the finest pop song ever written) |

The Day Before You Came, my absolutely favourite Abba track. I think it is actually very underrated.
One of two new songs recorded for Abba The First 10 Years and, along with Under Attack barely made dents in the UK singles charts despite both tracks being excellent. I also think Blancmange's cover version of The Day.... is also very credible and stays true to the original. Two For The Price Of One is another fabulous track. Most overrated. Easy ..... Dancing Queen which gets played to death on the radio. |

I love this thread, on your underrated sections you've listed all the ABBA tunes I'm willing to admit I listen to!
Day Before You Came Under Attack The Visitors Cassandra I Am the City One Of Us Eagle The Piper Summer Night City Angel Eyes When All is Said and Done I grew up with More ABBA Gold, and have said on my radio show that is the essential ABBA CD. Not the big hits, the lesser known tunes! |
