I'm surprised no one mentioned those underrated icons:

Lifelikerolacostan... Spininmeawan... I had to post the national final performance that imo was much more groovy and powerful. Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah. God bless Fusedmarc.

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

Telemóveis. Because it was sadly too experimental for the current juries. And maybe a handful of locals too.

Rain of Revolution was prolly a bit too messy for everyone, and idk if it would have ever garnered an audience that would've put them through

DID SOMEONE SAY

SCHMETTERLINGE

MUSIC IS.... MONEY!! FOR THE RECORD COMPANY. absolutely iconic and flawless, a kind of witty absurdism that only comes into our lives very rarely and is never rightfully appreciated when it does (STAN TELEMÓVEIS YOU COWARDS). 17th place in the 70s really was 1st place.

also a word of appreciation for the very very very very VERY first Internet Fan Favourite Who Flopped In the Televote

also the very first victim of running order assassination. sandwiched between selma and charlotte lmfao rip still, this absolute ANTHEM deserved better and europe was Wrong in 1999 for this flop

 

[Alaska49]

also, i love her and do wish she got more points, but no. in the current state of affairs, qualifying already counts as doing well for any country except russia and sweden (and the autofinalists but duh). that's that on that. katerine got greece back in the final and i am very proud of her. we don't need to be putting her in the same basket as conan.

Absolutely. It's my winner of 1999!

Marlain it was in my top 3, an eurodance icon

That was amazing but the staging wasn't as good as the video clip was and it didn't work.

Boggie - "Wars for nothing" and Agnete - "Icebreaker" are the first 2 examples that come to my mind. Both are my #1 of their respective years and there's no doubt that these 2 are among the most revolutionary songs ever in ESC.
