ABBATHE 40 MOST IMPORTANT SONGS


18 THE VISITORS 

Writers: Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus

The title track for ABBA's final album served also as its opening song. It set the mood for a more mature and serious approach from the group. Frida's lead vocal sings about the plight of dissidents in the then Soviet Union. It's another hint that ABBA had the potential to keep their music interesting and varied, rather than recycling past ideas. This often overlooked track reveals the relevance ABBA could have enjoyed in the new decade.
