I've never been shy to confess my likings. In the early 70´s it was completely uncool for a prog-hippie to like the Sweet (and some other Chinn-Chapman-stuff), but I kept praising the quality of the vocals and the unsamed catchyness of the songs. My bandmates also laughed at me because I loved Ray Charles and Shirley Bassey.
And many Eurovision participants too (I liked, I mean, not that they laughed at me

)
But that Ding-dinge-dong.....c'moooon :o)
