both exploded on the scene with their phenomenal victory at the Eurovision Song Contest
both were made up of two long haired dudes and two broads who liked to wear mini-skirts
both included females that on a rather lousy day occasionally could be used as wanking material
both dominated the charts for a decade and changed the face of popular music. well, uhhmm, at least 50% of them did that, but that's good enough!



so what is your choice?

You kiddin'?

Thet can't compare. ABBA was a real group.

PANDURITO said:

oh.


I gotta do research on that then. thanks

however, the colorful cloths speak for Bucks Fizz

a difficult decision

I was an ABBA kid. It was my first favourite group and that usually stays with you forever.
I bought the Bucks Fizz remasters a couple of years ago but it was mainly for 80's sound nostalgia

so your take is, that you rate musical skills over outfits?

quite interesting

Now that you mention it...
it is quite interesting indeed

who the hell is Buck Fizz??

SoulAlive said:

what? you missed gems like these???

pay attention what happens at 1:29

that's where Janet got the idea for her "wardrobe malfunction"


Bucks Fizz were really breaking new ground

SoulAlive said:

What?! 'The Land Of Make Believe' Never dented the Billboard charts?. That's terrible.

Marrk said:

My Camera Never Lies was the more hardcore track...

There is a Buck Fizz song that pops up on Pandora (probably an Abba station I made). It wasn't even a single but it was good...not good enough to justify a showdown, though.

That's true.

I wanted to bang that blonde chick, not the one that did 'Record Breakers', the other one.

That pic doesn't do her justice!

KeithyT said:

No contest ABBA were much better, had more hits and are far more iconic (We are nuts about them in Australia and New Zealand).
Whereas Bucks Fizz were a pack of British wanna bes with a couple of tragic electropop hits. Its like comparing Dream First Born with Prince.

Huggiebear said:

yeah, but... what about their outfits? so you also prefer musical skills?

MrSmoketoomuch said:

It was the 70s man, Abba win again, they had some out of it clothes, but they didn't look like Simon (That game) with the red, blue, yellow, green thing. Sorry but with songs like SOS, Knowing me, Knowing You and One of us, to their credit there is no contest.

Huggiebear said:

that's not fair. if Bucks Fizz had the same talent as ABBA had, and made better music than they actually did, then they would have been at least as good as ABBA, if not better

Agnetha's and Friedah's boots & t-skirts ? No contest

okay... I guess I have to see some crotch shots from all four girls before my final verdict

If it helps, in the early 80s, they released a white wine spritzer called Bucks Fizz. It was pretty tragic, some watered down Marque Vue (A very cheap New Zealand sparkling carbonated wine like BabyCham or Asti Riccadonna, but much cheaper and nastier) and lemonade. It came in a pink bottle with gold tin foil and you could imagine the rest.
