3. SOS - Abba

Look, it was the 70s and I was a young kid: no one was immune, and don’t try to pretend otherwise. I used to stare at the cover of Arrival with my sister when we’d put on the record, that helicopter looking impossibly cool, and wonder what it was like to be in the biggest band in the world. Well I did, anyway. But this was the song that I always loved, for the contrast between those downbeat keys until that great riff kicks in. Everything seemed bigger back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvChjHcABPA
