Best ABBA Albums

The Top Ten
1 Arrival

Probably their most popular album with songs Dancing Queen, Fernando, Money, Money, Money, Happy Hawaii, and Knowing Me, Knowing You that I love!

Any album with "Dancing Queen" on it has to be the best, let alone "Money, Money, Money" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You." A no-brainer for best ever.

Probably my favorite because it has most of the songs I love!

2 The Visitors

This is definitely the most sophisticated ABBA album. That just isn't up for debate. With songs like "I Let the Music Speak," which is deep and almost haunting, and "The Day Before You Came" (this one makes me shiver), it's just beautiful.

The lyrics are more meaningful than many others (cough Dancing Queen cough), and many focus on political issues rather than romance ("Soldiers," "The Visitors," etc.). It's obvious, by listening to this album, that ABBA was taking advantage of their experience in the music industry.

3 Voulez-Vous

Song for song, this is ABBA at their best. "If It Wasn't for the Nights" could have been one of the huge hits of their career up there with the popular ones. I don't know why that wasn't pushed as a single.

On side two, those first three songs have to be one of their best album song sequences (for those who don't have the record, starting with "Does Your Mother Know," "If It Wasn't for the Nights," then "Chiquitita").

Voulez-Vous is a great pop album with lots of hidden gems. "If It Wasn't for the Nights" is one of the group's best songs, along with other classics like "Chiquitita," "Angel Eyes," and "Does Your Mother Know."

4 ABBA - The Album

ABBA at their peak, easily their best album in terms of composition. Psychedelic "Eagle," power pop "Take a Chance on Me," intricate "The Name of the Game," the beautiful and cosmic "Move On," and the rock opera "Hole in Your Soul" are some of the highlights.

"Thank You for the Music," "I Wonder," and the manic "I'm a Marionette," which features an exceptional guitar bridge, are an amazing mini-musical. The lovely ballad "One Man, One Woman" is sweet as well. ABBA's best, and one of the best albums, period.

Why is this so low? All the songs are undeniably great, but definitely give Eagle, Take a Chance on Me, Thank You for the Music, and I Wonder (possibly ABBA's greatest song ever) a listen.

No words to describe this album. Just listen to it.

5 Super Trouper

This contains possibly my top four ABBA songs (The Piper, The Winner Takes It All, Me and I, and On and On and On). Of course, I love other songs such as Kisses of Fire and Soldiers, which could also be part of my top four, but this album is just outstanding.

My favorite song is The Winner Takes It All! I do like Super Trouper!

Including the giant hit Happy New Year and many great songs such as The Winner Takes It All and Super Trouper.

6 Waterloo

How is this a bad album? Really, there is no such thing as a bad ABBA song or album. I like the songs Waterloo, Honey Honey, and Hasta Mañana. I totally disagree if this was the worst.

Probably not my favorite, but I like their songs Waterloo, Honey Honey, and Hasta Mañana!

7 Ring Ring

Their first album is pretty good. I like their songs Ring Ring, Love Isn't Easy, Disillusion, and Another Town, Another Train.

Their first album, and the song with the same title, gave the group their big break in several European countries.

I think their first album is good!

8 ABBA

There are so many different kinds of songs on this album. Everybody knows S.O.S. and Mamma Mia, but there is so much more. I've Been Waiting for You is simply their best ballad.

Hey Hey Helen rocks big time with a simple but great riff, and the bridge is surprising and changes the song altogether. Benny simply shines in Intermezzo no. 1. I can't sit still when listening to So Long.

One of their best albums. I would love to own it on vinyl. I've Been Waiting for You, Rock Me, Hey Hey Helen, and So Long are some of my favorite ABBA songs.

Then add S.O.S. and Mamma Mia. This is by far one of their best albums.
