poptimistsEverybody likes ABBA*, but which ABBA does everybody like? As with last week's Sugababes poll, here's an untaxing ramble through pop history which will give us an opportunity to talk about ABBA (or about whatever you end up talking about.)
The poll below the cut is a list of ABBA's UK Top 40 singles. There are 25 of them, and I want you to tick your favourite EIGHT. No more than eight, though you can tick less. Simple as that.
[Poll #674920]
*I do actually know this isn't true.

The gentle melody of I haf a dream seems uniquely suited to humanity's friend the pan pipe.
