Who is Mantona? that threw me, I think you mean (Machel) Montano?
Like you, I've never contemplated a top five.
But I'll kick mine off with
1. Jean and Dinah - Sparrow
2. Ethel - Blue Boy (now Super Blue)
3. Pan in A minor - Kitchener (Historian you MUST listen to this again)
4. Tiny Winey - Byron Lee
5. Nani Wine - Crazy
All my picks were pre 1990 songs. I just realized that, could be my age...
Anyway, this question is a difficult one... i bet if I decided to answer this question in a week's time, the five would have changed.
My favourite of that list above is "Pan in A minor", simply because of how he incorporated the pan in the song... AND I AM NOT a lover of pan music. i don't go to Panorama nor follow those big bands at Carnival time.
Square One and Krosfyah are Bajan bands...but I think you know that. Square One broke up I believe after Allison Hinds left.
Ever heard of Exile One? from Dominica? I used to like listening to this band (not just because of the music alone) but also because I was fascinated by the "french creole" language, and I had a very good friend from Dominica...
Why me? I just point out that that tune was before Soul Calypso(Soca), anyhow I will come up with something later, my three teams were KO in the WC, Mexico, USA & Costa Rica, I am not fully recovered as yet.
I don't know how long you living in Trini, but you should remember when Allan Magnus used to have Calypso Corner on his morning show. It would be at around 6:45 am. I used to love the Merrymen music. I was trying to rack my brain trying to remember the name of this song. This was my favourite Merrymen song, especially this line, "and when the men, kill the men, all that remain is women. It is then I gwine have me fun'
