With "Lay all your love on me", Abba composed an hymn. It has a slight gospel feeling to it in the chorus.

I love the bouncy disco beat, and the way the synths whirl and surround the echo-y vocals in such a complimentary way. Happily surprisesd to see this get such a high ranking. Y'all have great taste in ABBA.

A shame they only released this as a 12 inch, if it had been 7 inch Im sure they d have another top one in Germany and or britain, From hwat I read a peoples favourite in the nights club even before the maxi single release, it was bad management to do it 12 inch, with hindsight

A very diverse song with nice synth layers, background choir and an opera like frida chorus, it was a NO 5 in germany and some other countries, too, so the chart success was much better than with under attack, this is the musical direction they should have taken and imo would have taken had they carried on.

My personal fave of theirs, but a lot of people don't know that this wasn't even released on one of their albums. It was an additional bonus track on the Best of ABBA 2, album, and it just took off from there, which was a surprise for the band. Doesn't hurt that it was sampled by Madonna, either. Helped to keep the song alive in people's memories.

One of the very best songs from the "Visitors" album. Some people use to say that Abba is just a "hits" band, but that song proves the contrary: Abba can improvise a lot in their music if they wanted. But I think it's a pity they did so few instrumentals, "progressive-like" songs, improvisations... I really miss in Abba some kind of "10 minutes songs" with solos, instrumental passages, big intro, etc. Like some Pink Floyd or Genesis long songs. Abba was so much talented !

Dancing Queen Report Abuse
Probably the most popular ABBA hit. Not their best song, though.

Yeah of course this song is one of their most popular. But it's also one of their best. Although I'm not too keen on their disco-styled songs, this one is the exception, along with "If it wasn't for the nights", in the same vein. Anyway I can listen to Dancing Queen over and over and never get tired of it (contrary to "Gimme Gimme...." for example, that bores me).

This song seems to be the "Winner takes it all" translation of Anni-Frid, in her own ways. Whereas "The winner..." has a dramatic feeling, "When all is said and done" is more harsh and "expiditive" ! Great song anyway.

In answer to the guest who was responding to my own guest comment: I did know it was released as a single in a few countries, most notably the US, but not in their biggest markets, like Holland Germany and England, thats why I didnt count it as a proper single. The only proper Visitors singles are/were One of us (no 1 in germany, No 3 in england) and Head over heels whoich topped at No 25 in these countries, roughly.

One of the best songs in "The Visitors" album, in my opinion. The verses particularly, are quite original and inventive, they are sung like an echo, At this point in their career, Abba was experimenting with new technologies of the moment (reverb, echoes, samplers, etc.) and for me this song is a bit of an experimental one, but for the best result.

I'm afraid to agree with the last comment. I love most Abba's song but I must be honest and say also when I'm not so enthusiastic... Even though this song was a great sucess, it's a bit of a let-down for me: no memorable melody, and something quite repetitive. Abba at their disco peak...

I play the visitors album almost daily, this one is a song I never skip not even once, a very intense, very delicate song. The metronome seems to indicate how abbas time was running out as it was the last song on the original visitors album before it got remastered. Every time i listen to this song (and most of the rest of visitors) i imagine what abba could have been like had they continued instead of breaking up. Their swan song album was their very best and by a margin, imo.

Cassandra Report Abuse
Great song with mythological subject matter. Cassandra was the daughter of the King of Troy, who was gifted with foresight but cursed in that nobody would ever believe her predictions.

One of my favorite ABBA songs. I love the contrast between the slower, more serious segments and quicker, catchy chorus. I like that it, unlike many songs in general, is about something. Cassandra is severely underrated-- it doesn't even have a Wikipedia page-- but it's beautiful.

This song is more than great, it's absolutely PERFECT : the verses, the bridges, the chorus, the chord progressions, the arrangements.... everything matches perfectly, the melody is pure magic, and the voices of Anni-Frid and Agnetha never blended so well together. I just CAN'T BELIEVE this masterpiece never got a chance as a single ! So this is why it is ranked as the low level of "41", probably because a lot of people never heard this great song, but for me "Me and I" is pure musical genius.

Part of a two-way tie for first place in ABBA songs in my book. I love the intro; it always makes me think of a tropical scene, oddly enough. The lyrics are captivating and haunting and dark but the energy is so present that it's hard to notice. Should be higher on the list.

The songs not bad, reminiscent of traditional abba style, but it came too late and the music world had moved on too far for this kind of song to have chart success, actually Abba at that stage of their career knew better songs to write, you can sense their heart wasnt in it, but still its a catchy tune.

Ties with Elaine for my favorite ABBA song. I love all of it, from the twangy opening notes to the gentle melody and appropriately soft lyrics. Everything fits together beautifully in this song, and while I will admit that I prefer the version from the soundtrack of the second Mamma Mia movie, the original recording is beautiful as well.

The song has some comical aspect the "sexy husky excting sounding" voice of Alice Whiting should be Bjorns, really, the chorus of the two girls is very nicely done, all in all this song while it surely rankls as one of the weaker songs on that album, has its merits. Especially seeing Visitors is their very best album all time (imo) so the song's still better than half of what they ve done on previosu albums. As I said in one of the previous comments it doesnt fit in mood wise.

Pure dreck... The chorus has some beautiful harmonies, but as a whole, it's lacking any depth. It should have been on one of their earlier albums. It was sorely out of place on The Visitors. "Should I Laugh Or Cry" should be in it's place on the album.

The kitchiest song of ABBA. Worse than "Fernando", "Chiqitita " and "I Have a Dream"....... Total crap.

Oh, along with 'The winner takes it all' and 'The name of the game' I of course had forgotten to add 'The day before you came' ... a song of particular great depth!

mmm, such a low ranking for an absolutely amazing sophisticated song? This song definitely should be in the top ten along with ‘I am the city’. These songs were recorded at the end of ABBA’s career and display a degree of depth that had only previously been captured within ‘The winner takes it all’ and ‘The name of the game’, both of which are phenomenally well crafted songs. Had ABBA continued onward, I believe they would have produced even deeper more meaningful sophisticated songs.

One of their best, it has a lingering after taste that makes you want to listen to it again and again.

Time for me to jump in with my (obviously) unpopular opinion... This song is CATCHY. Like... really, really catchy. The lyrics are typical of early ABBA, pretty simple and repetitive, but it's nice that you can clearly hear them. This isn't a song that you'd have to look up the lyrics to. But the best part is the end--the girls doing arpeggios, it's so unique even as far as ABBA songs go. This is definitely one of my favorites.
