7th: Mor ve Ötesi - Deli (75pts)
That 4th place finish for Athena really gave the Turks a most unbecoming habit of being the foremost purveyors of rock - even moreso than the Finns! - in the international annual jamboree of camp before their eventual bow out of it. However, much as it displeased a horde of gays each time they revisited this particular well, more often than not it usually paid off, typically cornering the market with aplomb and riding it all the way to the top ten (or sometimes even further, in the case of MaNga).
So it was too with Deli in 2008, which illustrated just how much of a high floor/middling ceiling niche it was counting on at each stage by finishing 7th both in its semi and in the final. I actually have a sneaking regard for this one as it goes - if nothing else, it at least has the decency to bring along a nice big chorus and a semi-dishy second guitarist. Can't say I'm too annoyed to have missed out on another decade of stuff of this ilk though!

Sadly, as the last evidence in the fossil record before Turkey discovered the art of a banging pop chorus, that's basically all there is to write home about here - although the dob-a-dob-a-dob-a-dob bit at least makes an attempted stab at memorability, albeit one that immediately goes back into endless goose chase verses basically every single time. Buket Bengisu later took out a restraining order against
