Mine is probably this one:
No Woman No Cry!
This song is never wrong when the party gets going, the lady isn't wrong either
I love her! Ehh, sorry but I get carried away sometimes. Nowadays my TV is on youtube
so if you have links to retro vids you like, please post.
You gotta be kidding

Bobby Farrel ??? You gotta be kidding right ? Boney M was a studio creation of German Frank Farian just like Milli Vanilli.
Milli Vanilli was really the more superficial one. Both of them lots of member replacements and hidden playbacks that
Milli Vanilli very soon never survived. Many members of Boney M never sang live and were fighting in court about owners
right of the name Boney M. Many times different members made tours under the same name Boney M. with lots of confusion. Bobby Farrel was always financially drained because of studio strangle contracts. It was only when Bobby
Farrel broke with Frank Farian and left the studio's that made him money. Hearing a song and knowing how
it came to be are 2 different things right ?

Never liked Bob Marley, nor that song, nor reggae in general...

Never been a Marley fan myself either, not even sure why but his tunes just seem to grate on my nerves.
Personally, I'd have to say my favorite retro song has to be Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield:

Best guitar solo in the whole 80's.

@Vanbeck,
That was 1 of my favourites way back then in the 80's. Thanks for the reminder of those days..
( I even still have Mike Oldfields "Tubular Bells" album here on vinyl.
)

yup, I know this song from my young days, too.
wasn't one of my favorites back then, too "poppy" for my taste.
the title always reminds me on this evergreen:
Moonshadow

Well.. Boney M is Boney M, Bob Farrel or not.. But About Bob Marley, the vocal godess here looks better than Bob Marley
ever did, and her voice is MUCH more pleasant..
And, Boney M's vinyl discs and copies sounds fantastic, even today, thanks to the Germans love for precision engineering.

Art in Music didn't stop after Mozart, in the 20th century there were Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Ludwig Hirsch and also Bob Marley just to name a few.
Boney M. however was just professional remix stuff like Milli Vanilli. Acceptable Music, good engeneering, but not at all Art.
