I picked Going For the One.

To me this is the one that hits the sweet spot between progressive and accessible.

Well, that's the other thing. there seemed much more variety to ABBA's songs. The Carpenters would probably never have wanted to do a song a rocking as "Gimme Gimme Gimme", but if they had wanted to...

ABBA.

Karen Carpenter had one of the best voices ever in popular music - but a great voice isn't everything. After the initial novelty of the first few Carpenters singles, which were great, I...

1. Do you prefer wired or wireless keyboard/mouse?
