10. Jolly Boys, “Hanging on the Telephone” (Great Expectations)

At this point, any mento Top 10 would have to include something off this album because it took mento in a new creative direction and has brought people back in search of the music’s originals, like Bedasse, Lasher and others. Also, it’s great music! This cover of Blondie’s new-wave classic is one of my favorites off the album.
