Another spectacularly varied list with many surprises! Bucks Fizz?!
I suspect 1982 will be loaded with even more classics…
Hiya, Chris!
Yeah, Bucks Fizz was UK’s answer to Sweden’s ABBA, and they came onto the scene just when ABBA was just about to “retire”. Short-lived high-end success in the UK, but I sure adored their early singles.
I do like to think I’m eclectic. High-brow or cheesy, if it’s infectious or gives me chills, it’s up my alley.
Stay tuned for ’82!
Hey Ric. Another fabbo list there. I also thought that “The Land of Make Believe” was a lot better than their Eurovision Song Contest-winning “Making Your Mind Up”. 🙂
Thanks Grant!
Yes, Making Your Mind Up is very targeted for the Eurovision, but it has no hold on Land Of Make Believe. I also preferred their next two follow-up singles to Making You Mind Up as well, and those will be in my ’82 list.
