Re: Top 10 Eurovision Songs of All TimeI liked sebastian tellier's (france) entry 'divin e' 2008. It didn't win though.
Suppose abba and bucks fizz produced the most comprehensible winners since they were actually the sort of music that sold well at the time.
... which proves that french ladies need to shave more oftenLast edited by Joinedup; 10-05-2012 at 17:29. Reason: added youtube -

Re: Top 10 Eurovision Songs of All TimeTelex are a great band - bit like Kraftwerk but less known. All their albums are on Spotify, check them out!(Original post by WarriorInAWig)
Are you really saying that the current crop of Europap is better than the past?

Save Your Kisses For Me
Waterloo

Re: Top 10 Eurovision Songs of All TimeFor my all time favourite it's a toss up between:
Turkey 2008 (Mor ve Otesi - Deli) &
Germany 1979 (Dschinghis Khan - Dschinghis Khan)
My most memorable:
Austria 2003 (Alf Poier)
Latvia 2000 (Brainstorm)
Germany 2006 (Texas Lightning)
Finland 2006 (Lordi)
2006 was probably the best year! -

Re: Top 10 Eurovision Songs of All TimeI didn't really watch the Eurovision until the last few years but my favourite song is Abba's Waterloo!
Not that I was alive when it was first out!
I also really liked Greece's song "Secret Combination" from the 2008 Eurovision and Latvia's pirate song "Wolves of the Sea" from the same year.

Re: Top 10 Eurovision Songs of All TimeThanks to you I rewatched this video about five times at the weekend - it truly is genius! It definitely deserved to win. I love the female monster on the keyboard.(Original post by ConnorB)

True, good song though 
Argh, you're so right. Puppet On A String is another golden oldie. The problem is, there are just so many good songs that come out of Eurovision!(Original post by WarriorInAWig)

I'll listen to Telex - Save All Your Kisses For Me, yet another big up to the golden oldies(Original post by CrazyTracey)
Telex are a great band - bit like Kraftwerk but less known. All their albums are on Spotify, check them out!
Save Your Kisses For Me
Best year is definitely a whole other vote I reckon.(Original post by El Nombre)
2006 was probably the best year!
Argh, how could I forget Dana International! She definitely needs to be in the top 10. Might have to correct my list now.(Original post by PinkMobilePhone)
OK, you're all making my day now by reminding me of all of these incredible songs. I'm going to have to start a Eurovisionfest going in the office tomorrow.(Original post by ScottishShortiex)

Me too.(Original post by ConnorB)
Good to see Chernobyl had no adverse effects...
In all seriousness, it's a brilliant song, it's what Eurovision is all about to me
