The Ultimate Women's Album - Side 1 Track 4 Nominations

[Heston]

More excellence from the super Swedes...



This nice little write up from the Guardian (who voted it their number one ABBA single) sums it up well...

1. SOS (1975)
There’s Abba gold, and then there’s Abba platinum. The ultimate pop band’s ultimate pop song went on to inspire hits for the Sex Pistols, Girls Aloud and countless songwriters in between – including Abba, with Björn later identifying this 1975 single as fundamental in forging their musical identity. And it’s all here: the pathos and drama of intense romantic despair delivered via a peerless melody and a minor-to-major chorus explosion, a collision of sonic euphoria and lyrical gloom so potent and disorientatingly bleak that Portishead’s downbeat 2015 cover arguably cheered the song up a bit.

No biggie, I just knew I'd lose against a single. Not that this song is going to get any votes either!

Europeans are better at that kind of thing. They all go to schools of etiquette.
