The test of any good song is to strip it down to it's basic form. Benny and Bjorn were craftsmen. While not my favoutite type of music, I like many others could appreciate them for they were, a brilliant pop group who influenced many songwriters and producers that followed.
Weird you mention this track. I hate pop music. But I love this record and has always stood out to me. Massive guilty pleasure.
Great record NYCBlue. It's a pivitol NYC record I believe too as producer George Goldner changed the sound of music with reverb and the birth of the "wall of sound" etc

For me this classic from 1982 Steve Winwood's "Valerie"

I've always been an Abba fan, their greatest hits vol 1 was my first ever album and I played it to death, it definitely shaped my music taste and what I look for in a tune.
I can be put right off of a tune I really like because of cheesy lyrics, I've deleted loads of mixes I've recorded because of it, not sure why it bothers me so much.
As good as this song may be, looking at the other thread, it seems like ABBA are getting their arses kicked.
The OP asks a serious question. The serious answer is NO. Many more better songs - too many to list, although poster Kris has listed several that I would agree with.
Not the best ABBA song, for me it's Fernando. But after the massive success of Waterloo, ABBA were considered finished as a successful act, as their next few songs after Waterloo were only minor hits. SOS got them back at the top end of the UK charts and they stayed there till they finished in the early 80s.
