I have made an ABBA compilation for myself when it was 2nd day of June 2015 and I'd like to share the track listing:
The Winner Takes It All - The Best
CD 1: 1) Take a Chance On Me 2) Waterloo 3) Me And I 4) Dancing Queen 5) I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do 6) Head Over Heels 7) Does Your Mother Know 8) Ring Ring 9) That's Me 10) Lay All Your Love on Me 11) Honey, Honey 12) As Good As New 13) S.O.S. 14) I'm a Marionette 15) Summer Night City 16) Bang-A-Boomerang 17) Money, Money, Money 18) My Love, My Life 19) The Winner Takes It All 20) Angeleyes 21) Hasta MaƱana
CD 2: 1) When I Kissed the Teacher 2) Happy New Year 3) Voulez-Vous 4) Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) 5) Under Attack 6) The Name of the Game 7) Mamma Mia 8) Tiger 9) Eagle 10) Super Trouper 11) What About Livingstone 12) I Have a Dream 13) Intermezzo No. 1 14) Nina, Pretty Ballerina 15) The Way Old Friends Do 16) Knowing Me, Knowing You 17) One of Us 18) Lovelight 19) Thank You for the Music 20) So Long
Looking back this compilation there are some minor changes I would do: "People Need Love" and "When All Is Said And Done" are the songs I would add. Then I should leave two songs off: "What About Livingstone" and "The Way Old Friends Do".

The only song here I don't like is "I'm A Marionette". It tries to sound ambitious, but turns out to be annoying to me.

The only song here I don't like is "I'm A Marionette". It tries to sound ambitious, but turns out to be annoying to me. It is definitely the song which divides opinions. I think it is the best song of "The Album". My brother likes it very much too. For me, "Thank You for the Music" was once a song which I didn't like. It was for the lyrics which I considered very selfish but I have started to like it during recent years. "I'm a Marionette" is at least different from the other songs. I am looking at Rate Your Music reviews and the second review I am seeing on the front page talks only how "I'm a Marionette" is amazing. One reviewer says about "The Album": "Some of the Worst ABBA" and one "Possibly their worst album". It was the album with all kinds of songs. Maybe that's why I have started to like it more. I definitely understand your opinion. The song sounds creepy but perhaps all those exciting things happening in it really caught my attention when I first heard it when my brother was listening to the song when I was a teenager.

I just listened to the song again. It hit me better, and now I noticed that I actually love the verses, but the chorus is the big problem that spoils the song for me.
After all I'm not very surprised to see it being a fan favorite.
