Top 5 Modern Talking Hits

Here is my pick of Top 5 Modern Talking Hits. I am sure many fo you remember the dynamic German dance pop duo Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen who created some memorable music as Modern talking. My pick of the favorite Modern talking songs is as follows

1. Do you Wanna - This has to be my absolute favorite and the reason is simple - it has better lyrics than most of Modern Talking hits.
2. Brother Louie - a most amazing piece of music.
3. Sexy Sexy Lover - Again, the beats do the wonder.
4. Cheri, Cheri Lady - here, more than beat, the rhythm does the magic, sorta like the hits of ABBA.
5. You Can Win If You Want - a positive, upbeat song...

And yes, for the record, I am not the biggest fan of You're my heart, You're my Soul.

Again, I must assert here that downloading these songs from torrents, rapidshare, megaupload or P2P softwares in not something that a true music lover would be proud of. STOP PIRACY!!! SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE GROUPS!!
