My Top Music Of The Week 11/6


1. Voyage - ABBA (NEW, 2021) **1 week #1**

ABBA's first album in 40 years was released yesterday. It contains 9 new songs and one previously unreleased featuring the singles listed below. Highlights include When You Danced With Me, a song reminiscent of 1980's The Piper, and Keep An Eye On Dan which is about a divorced couple who share cutstody of a son. They even added their very first Christmas song, Little Things. I'm elated to see the ABBA sound being brought into 2021!

2. Just A Notion - ABBA (Single, 2021)

Recorded in 1978.

3. I Still Have Faith In You/Don't Shut Me Down - ABBA (Single, 2021)

4. Live At Wembley Arena - ABBA (2014)

This 2-CD set was recorded in London during the group's 1979 world tour. A noteworthy inclusion is a solo performance by Agnetha Faltskog called I'm Still Alive.

5. Physical: Deluxe Edition - Olivia Newton-John (2021)

6. Good Morning Freedom: The Anthology - Blue Mink (2002)

7. 1983-1991 - This Mortal Coil (1993)

8. 20 Years Of Romance - Captain & Tennille (1996)

This is a collection of new versions of the duo's hits as well as covers of songs by other artists. A stand-out track is the updated The Way I Want To Touch You which has an instrumental sax break.

9. The World Of Peters & Lee (1996)

10. The Dreaming - Kate Bush (1982)

Kate's fourth album includes the singles Sat In Your Lap, There Goes A Tenner, and the title track. It's one of the most outrageous recordings in my collection and my favorite by her.

11. Ticket To Ride 2.0 - Carpenters (Home playlist)

12. Women & Song - Fleetwood Mac (Home playlist)

13. The Best Of Grace Slick (1999)

This is a clever compilation of Grace's songs with Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship, and as a solo artist.
