From another thread. If I can’t have you. The Bee Gees had earmarked that for Abba. Great song . Other songs on my wish list-obviously I know him so well, Heart of Glass, Total eclipse of the Heart, Woman in Love , No more Tears and Chain reaction to suggest a few.

Also from another thread, The B-52's lovely Topaz. Check out Kate & Cindy's vocals, especially when the music fades out towards the end.

Thanks Shoshin. I have only ever heard Love Shack which I love. Maybe I have to listen to more B52.

It's too bad Another You, Another Me wasn't written during the ABBA years and recorded by them.

To be honest I wish "Rydeen" (YMO) was an ABBA song. It sounds like something Benny Andersson would have done during the Super Trouper-era, given that the song itself is heavily synth-layered. The only problem is that particular song has no lyrics. With some lyrics, it's sounds like some sort of a sequel to Lay All Your Love on Me.. maybe.

Had a listen. Interesting song. Takes me back to 77 .....Space and Magic Fly. Quite like instrumentals. Abba did gave us two. My favourite being the haunting Arrival. When I hear it I think of mist rolling in from the hills. Also liked Frida’s Time- the lyrical version of Arrival. Very Christmassy feel. Can’t imagine what kind of lyrics would fit with Intermezzo though! Quite fun to try.

^^^^ check out Sarah Brightmans vocal version of Arrival, it was released as a single but alas didn't hit the charts, from memory it was released at Christmas as well, surprisingly very good....

Always liked Sarah Brightman. Loved Timeless the album. Never heard her do Time before. Stunning. Thanks for bringing this gem to my attention.

Today I stumbled upon this thread… maybe we should bring it back to life :-) When I first heard Highland by One More Time, I thought it was an ABBA song. It remains my favourite to these days and I think it would be interesting to hear Agnetha and Frida singing it…
And I agree with Zeebee that Another You Another Me would make a good ABBA song... certainly Agnetha and Frida could handle the vocals better, especially the chorus.
