1. :se: 1988 One of the best singers of ESC history with a powerful anthem.

2. :fi: 2006 I like the melody very much but not the text about demons and angels which sounds a bit antichristian could be a joke though.

3. :ua: 2004 A scream from the scythian steps.

DAMN now this is a hard pick.

Might not be completely correct, but of the top of my head, if I was forced to pick I'd go with

:az: 2009
:cy: 2012
:es: 2003

:fi: 2006 Hard Rock Hallelujah
:ua: 2004 Wild Dances
:no: 2019 Spirit in the Sky

Special mention to :ie: 1996 The Voice, which is a song i discovered much later on my own.
I've only watched the contest when my country has participated, so i'm not gonna count anything that came before. These are the ones my heart desires.

(Could you please add the song titles, not all of us know the song by year and flag alone)

:bg: Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankulov - Water (2007)
:ge: Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian - Midnight Gold (2016)
:no: Gåte - Ulveham (2024)

So many others could fit the bill but honourable mentions to :no: (1995), :dk: (2000), :be: (2003) and :gr: (2013).

I mean, I have to go with Rändajad, right? :lol:

And to round out my top three: Yugoslavia 1992 (a true classic and the end of an era) and Italy 1997 (it was the first one that came to mind).

But honestly, this is an insane request, it's so hard to pick just three. There have been so many great entries over the years that even narrowing it down to 50 would be difficult. Honourable mentions for me would include the class of 2009, Croatia in the 90s, half of Italy’s catalogue, early and some recent French entries, lots of 2000s songs purely for nostalgia (even if I don't necessarily think they're good), Denmark in the 80s, and quite a few winners.

:ch: 2021 - Tout L'Univers - Gjon's Tears
:se: 1984 - Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley - The Herreys
:no: 2009 - Fairytale - Alexander Ryback

I want to also give a shout out to the honorable mentions

:ch: 1988 - Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi - Celine Dion
:uk: 2022 - Space Man - Sam Ryder
:md: 2017 - Hey Mamma - Sunstroke Project

These three are lurking really close to the top for me, only missing by the slimmest of margins so they needed a shout out.

:al: 2025 with the caveat that I just discovered recency bias and it's my favorite thing ever
:it: 1976 takes the spot if we're judging on studio, :de: 1975 if we're taking live into account

Oh I'll have to have a long think about this one.

Starting with my own country, Ireland - 1987 (Hold Me Now - Johnny Logan) is by far my favourite of the 7 Irish winners, and would certainly be in my top 10 of all time at the very least.

You have no idea how I stan Sofi Marinova! If there is still a result that pisses me off, it is her 11th place on that semifinal.
