On my preferred ABBA compilation, one of my favourites;

  • Decent obscure ABBA tune
  • Not worthy of second compilation

The best one of these that I can remember was Destiny Calling by James. Think it actually turned out to be one of their biggest hits , so definitely warranted a place on the greatest hits.

This album was one of the few my girfriend had in her University digs. Kicking a Greatest Hits off with two unreleased / rehashed b-sides just seemed really weird. This is great though, but I had heard it before on some rarities bootleg:

One of my favourite Green Day songs, this

Subthread: Who released a greatest hits album earliest in their careers?

Girls Aloud can’t have been 4 years deep when they dropped that single.

Totally forgot about this, a gem

Does this count? Was on a b-sides comp but prev unreleased . Love it

Show yourself cowards

Haven’t done a poll before - is it something I can change in the settings?

Nah i was just joking. Couldn’t believe it though, easily stands with their best songs.

On all the other polls it shows me who voted but not on this one - thought that was maybe because I did the poll (for some reason).

Anyway the song is 100% ace.

Still not over Teenage Fanclub leaving Alcoholiday off their ‘Best Of’ album.

ABBA’s first Greatest Hits came out in '75 and the debut had only come out in '73 so that was pretty fast work.
