Is the winner takes it all by ABBA the best record of all time?

[JT]

Well I do believe it is :crown:

[wankmaster]

For me "Say you don't mind" by Colin Blunstone is the greatest record of all time.

[JT]

second, is first cut is the deapest by Cat Stephens, just in case you was all wondering

[rogue]

satellite kid by the dog's d'amour is the best single of all time

I think you'll find its allready been proved that The winner takes it all is the best song.

Please read above :)

No, its general knowledge that The wiiner takes it all is the best song of all time. If you have any doubt please read the thread title

[wankmaster]

Just read the thread title. It's a question. So the answer is "no".

Around about 1972 if my memory serves me right - Great song. Also, about the same time:
Without You - Nilson
Vincent - Can't remember the singer

Good year for music -

[Geezer]

I take it you are pissed

[wankmaster]

Blunstone gave up and became an insurance salesman for many years before going back to singing. Hard to belive isn't it? Such is the power of the publicity machine that few people have heared of the greatest voice in pop ever.

But concensus the greatest album of all time is "Pet Sounds". It's OK, but why so many people wet themselves over it is beyone me.

Sorry mate - I forgot how much you like the Wombles - Yea - They were gr8.

I loved the wombles, we use to live oppisite Wimbledon Common when I was a youngster, I thought they really lived there. I use to go under the subway that runs under the main road to get there and thats where I thought they lived. :cheers2:

[wankmaster]

"Vincent" was probably by Don McLean

Sonja Kristina - Married to the drummer of Police - (He played for the band ((Taking over from Parkinson-whatshisname)) before joining Police) - Nice bit of music after a joint or 3 -

[wankmaster]

Daft cunt - The thread title asks the question "Is the winer takes it all by ABBA the best record of all time?"

Abba hit the commercial button very well - But you can not compare them with the likes of <!--#include virtually any half decent rock band here-->

[wankmaster]

"In 1975, "SOS" became the first song with a palindromic title recorded by a group with a palindromic name to hit the pop charts."

Isn't that interesting?

It was a rhetorical question. Its obviously a fact that its the best song ever :)

There is a real snobery that surrounds Abba, people try and lump them in with the Eurovision. But they were fantastic song writers and The winner takes it all, was a truly fantastic record

yes, especially after alot of red wine :cheers2:

[dvtimes]

I am sad and love the 'save all your kisses for me' song (europian song contest winning song from the 70's. My nan sang it to me when i was a kid.

All ABBA songs are great, so are all Queen, Blondie, Beach boys, and carpenters.

So "The winner takes it all" is your Waterloo then - Your a Super Trouper Dancing Queen

[wankmaster]

yes, especially after alot of red wine :cheers2:

How do you know what I've been drinking? If it's red, from the co-op and has a screw top I'll drink it.

Yes, ABBA were one of the greatest pop music bands of all time, really catchy tunes, nothing wrong with em at all.

If I have to pick an ABBA tune it's "Money Money Money". An ABBA curiousity that I listen to now and then is ABBA Oro. All their hits in Spanish,from when they tried to crack that market. Nice to hear Swedes singing Spanish translations of their english hits.

All good songs. But The winner takes it all was and still is something else. Download it from Itunes and you will be amazed how good it is.

[wankmaster]

Is is true that the Norwegien group "A-ha" took their name from an ABBA song?

Not sure, but Allan Partridge did "A-Haaaaaaaa"

[wankmaster]

"In 1991, A-ha set a Guinness Book World Record by playing for the largest paying audience in the world: 198,000 people".

They were still horrible though

Originally yes, but they made a comeback album "Minor Earth Major Sky", my friend nagged me into listening to it, and I must say it was excellent.

[Cardinal_Sin]

Did a search on there earlier today for Frigid Pink and Little Women - Got nada - Will wait to get the free stuff through emule

[onlytease]

not a bad choice, but mine goes to the full version of Don Mcleans American Pie

[Vince]

Dark haired girl or blonde one. The darker one always did it for me - she looked naughty :devil:

[redwhiteandblue]

Blonde one for me.

[redwhiteandblue]

Girl, I mean.

[heidi84]

it is a good song and i do like a bit of abba now and again, But the greatest song of all time as far as i am concerned has to be either - queen - dont stop me now, or Elvis - in the ghetto.

[Jock Strap]

The Winner Takes It All is truly unique as it was Abba with a dark and bitter edge.

But you're all wrong as it was recently made law that the best song of all time is Starman by David Bowie.

[WordsforHire]

I hate abba

[heidi84]

But you're all wrong as it was recently made law that the best song of all time is Starman by David Bowie.

That is a top song but not the best
