THE MASTERPIECES

the list is chronological
everybody , and the   members of Abba quite ok for the first masterpiece written by Benny
SOS from the ABBA album , the LP also provided the first perfect album with no fillers
before Abba , we have some candidates like "the sound of Eve" or "she will love you" for the Hep stars , "there's a little man" and 'Ljuva sextital'.

there is in fact three periods in the Abba catalog that intricate . 
- the classical period (Ring Ring to Arrival) the "learning period" it prolonged the Hep stars lycka period
featuring lots of hits and excellent tracks but few real masterpieces

- the modern period (Arrival ,The Album and Super Trouper)
the perfect fit with the musical landscape of the time , lots of masterpieces
- the futuristic period (Voulez vous , Super Trouper , The Visitors)
a futuristic sound with Voulez vous hailing to the eighties only the few are seventies , Super trouper features some eighties numbers while heading more to all time classics, The visitors is the ultimate eighties album !

so these are the masterpieces
