yes

Their single  "Rivers of Babylon" b/w "Brown Girl in the Ring" was a classic.  Their version of "Mary's Boy Child" is a classic, we play almost every year at some church.

Yeah, yeah, Milli Vanilli  connection and all, but they were great singers.

I wasn't even thinking of the Milli Vanilli connection -- just their hideous Eurotrash dance records like "Rasputin" and "Ma Baker" (which was about Ma Barker, but they couldn't be bothered to get her name right). Sorry, it's just truly awful stuff.
