Hmmm...are there actually any ABBA soundalikes? I could see some elements of ABBA in the first two of your songs (and particularly like the Games song) but both feature quite complicated chord sequences at points that would have been a bit off ABBA's chart-friendly pop radar. Plustwo sound in some ways not unlike the current Australian outfit Alpine - the keyboard solo made me laugh out loud though....and that last one was nothing like ABBA at all....I suppose the stock suggestion here is Tight Fit's 'Fantasy Island', but I'm guessing you already know that....I'll rack my brains, but don't hold your breath...you can hear colours when they rhyme...

Thanks for suggestions so far! Embarrassed at finding the Brotherhood of Man track quite listenable. Taking a pass on Tight fit though. Music go Music was cool. I've liked that 'Climax Sisters' tune from Confessions for years!

In 2001 I was living in Hamburg, where I would often spend the evenings flopped out in front of MTV Base or repeats of German pop show Musikladen.
Musikladen from 1977-1981 was, I think, probably the premier showcase for Abbalikes in the world, with every episode featuring at least one girl group such as Luv, Clout, Pussycat, A La Carte. Arabesque, Baccara, Dolly Dots etc etc etc.
there is a playlist for EVERY SHOW on this Wikipedia page and Musikladen is all over Youtube.Vardy.....¡¡¡PELIGRO!!!
