Posted June 24, 200817 yr infamous eurovision winners who had a string of hits in the 80's. they offered light relief at a time when pop was sooo pretencious (but good and inovative), any fans?

June 24, 200817 yr Author i like "Making Your Mind Up".................. a good pop song and deserved euro winner "Piece of the Action" "The Land Of Make Believe" ........ pretty cheesey but likeable "My camera Never Lies" "Now Those Days Are Gone" "If You Can't Stand The Heat" "When We Were Young" "New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)" ...i think this is a forgotten classic tbh, great track!
June 24, 200817 yr The Land of Make Believe is the best pop song ever written. Also like Piece of the Action, My Camera and New Beginning...not sure about the rest though really.

I have to confess I love The Land Of Make Believe. And Making Your Mind Up to me, is probably the UK's best ever ESC entry and quite rightly - winner. Norma
June 24, 200817 yr infamous eurovision winners who had a string of hits in the 80's. i saw they [the original Bucks Fizz from the Hits cheesy countdowns] are supporting Bjorn Again at the Hammersmith Apollo for i think Bjorn Again's 20 Anniversity tour - Tony Blackburn also appearing - quite random and bizarre seeing how both could be seen as ABBA tribute bands - but as bands go is one more real than the other
June 25, 200817 yr "Making Your Mind Up" (1981) (#1 UK) "The Land Of Make Believe" (1981) (#1 UK) "My Camera Never Lies" (1982) (#1 UK) "If You Can't Stand The Heat" (1982) (#10 UK) "When We Were Young" (1983) (#10 UK) "London Town" (1983) (#34 UK) "New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)" (1986) (#8 UK) My Camera Never Lies is my favourite one of theirs :w00t:
June 25, 200817 yr They're kinda fun in a cheesy "let's go get smashed at an 80s Disco Night" kind of way..... ..But come on, that name "Buck's Fizz", SOOOOOOOOOOO pretentious and Yuppie..... :lol: :lol: Well, at least it was back then.... I suppose these days "Bucks Fizz" is a bit of a 'chavvy', girlie drink.....
June 25, 200817 yr I hated them in all truth, a poor man's Abba. However in saying that "The land of make believe" was a good pop tune, wish it was by someone else :lol:
June 26, 200817 yr My fave single was New Beginning My fave group member was Shelley Preston who replaced Jay Aston although she was a bit of alright as well
