There are too many amazing songs for me to narrow down to my ideal top ten, so here are my choices for top fifteen:
Chiquitita
Dancing Queen
Does Your Mother Know
Gimme Gimme Gimme
I Have A Dream
Lay All Your Love On Me
Mamma Mia
One Of Us
Ring Ring
So Long
Take A Chance On Me
The Winner Takes It All
Waterloo
When All Is Said And Done
When I Kissed The Teacher
That's a great freaking top 15 but I can't at you ignoring 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', 'SOS', 'Summer Night City', 'Fernando' and 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do' I don't know what to replace them with, however, so you get a pass
The problem is my favorite ABBA song changes from day to day so I don't really know what song I want to win. As long as it's one of my 10's I'll be happy.

Oh, I couldn't do that. As you can see, I can't even put together a top 15. I already feel bad that I didn't mention 'Super Trouper' and 'Voulez-Vous' above. I am however currently doing a wonderful job mixing up my scores. I could NEVER hand out less than ten 10's but at least there's a great balance now rating from 1 to 10.

However, their latest stuff is a total bore. They declined a lot in the quality.
SENT!
Latest stuff as in The Visitors? Or those horrendous singles from The Singles?

I'd hope the latter
I love every song you mentioned, don't worry! I was going to post a top 25 (which all of those songs would have made), but then I realized that would be more than half of the songs in the whole rate.
I hope that's what he was referring to as well. One Of Us and When All Is Said And Done are two my all-time favorites from them! The Day Before You Came on the other hand...

I know right? So messy.
Yep, AGREED. One Of Us and When All Is Said And Done are epic. Everything went downhill from there.
The only two ABBA singles I really dislike are I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do and The Day Before You Came. This is gonna be so hard... Evun, it's only 4pm on the 9th here, when is the deadline in hours?

The Day Before You Came should be the first song out of the rate. I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do isn't their best, but a zero!?
I wrote the wrong date, that was supposed to say January 9.

22, which I'd say is good for a rate of so many songs by a group that ATRL mostly doesn't tend to care about. You can see the full list in the second post.Hopefully I get a bunch of last minute submissions tomorrow.

The deadline is the end of January 10th, in whatever time zone. I'm not going to start to reveal results right away anyway, so I'm fine with two or three extra rates trickling in on the 11th. I wanna be as inclusive as possible.
I watched Mamma Mia again today, this rate has me in an ABBA mood I've seen it on Broadway and seen the DVD... I don't even know how many times. Love it so much

Oh my gosh, me too!
And the funny thing is I only watched it once back in 2008 with my grandmother and I thought it was so overrated, but I gave it a second chance today and guess what? It had me CACKLING I've been laughing at Meryl in the credits for an hour almost. I didn't remember it to be so funny

Not you messing up my top 20! 
sorry!
And that number might be an understatement.
