#161 LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME Abba
ABBA cleverly never fully embraced the formulaic sound of disco, although some of their songs were perfectly suited for the dance floor. When the genre's popularity went into swift decline, ABBA didn't find itself locked into the disco style the same way as groups such as the Bee Gees and Chic experienced. "Lay All Your Love On Me" proved the band could adapt to the changing musical mood; still incorporating a dance element, but with a marked 80s approach.
ABBA moved comfortably into the new decade with the album 'Super Trouper'. The LP was dropped in 1980. "Lay All Your Love On Me" was featured on the disc. Group members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson co-wrote the dance track. Agnetha Faltskog handled lead vocals. Together with Anni-Frid Lyngstad, the harmonies are featured at their best on this track. Its climax is where the choral overdubs kick in. 
Released as a single the following year, the track reached #7 in Britain and was a hit in some European territories. At the time, the disc became the highest charting single in the UK released only in 12" format.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
