I've only ever listened to the Lordi track since they won back in 2006. Even moreso recently as the drummer (Tonmi Lillman) sadly passed-away earlier this year.
Very sad indeed but he didn't actually join Lordi until 2010-not that this should intefere with your love for this song though.
Turkey had an entry one year by Manga and because I was in to that type of music at the time I actually bought the tune (which I rarely do) and still think it's ok now. It didn't feel typically Eurovision (to me anway) so maybe that's why I liked it. Didn't think much of the performance but the tune I remember (because obv I bought it and still lisen to it from time to time). Usually it's the sound more like the songs that I listen to on a daily basis that I like in the Eurovison because it's the sound I'd listen to anyway.

I also love Hallelujah, Israel's entry from Milk and Honey, 1979 winners.
