The Tammys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucI7w0D4Dro My Johnny Doesn't Come Around Anymore ... Flip & The Dateliners http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmsc1Ui73kA Putty In Your Hands ... The Shirelles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctArbat6QlI Camel Walk ... The Ikettes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7WEbwOXN2c Walking In The Rain ... The Ronettes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBBys5TLxCI Better Tell Him No ... The Starlettes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViNQRJBPqtM I Want Your Love ... The Pussycats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BAMaBpSiG4 Two-Way-Poc-A- Way ... The Dixie Cups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hnD9IaxN58 What Mama Don't Know ...

I didn't think it was a great list but there were a couple I didn't know. How can 2 people do a top 10 without including anything by The Crystals? Top 10 Crystals. 1)He's A Rebel 2)There's No Other Like My Baby 3)Then He Kissed Me 4)Little Boy 5)Da Do Ron Ron 6)He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss) 7)Look In My Eyes  Uptown
9)Another Country - Another World 10)Girls Can Tell |

That ticks most boxes apart from the gaping Shangri Las shaped hole in the middle... Plus you've got the wrong Ronettes songs. I think you meant to include Do I Love You and Keep On Dancing instead. |

I heard a great reggae version of ‘Remember (Walking in the Sand)’ on Saturday, by Hollie Cook (daughter of Paul). The rhythms (is that spelt ‘riddims’?) are great and it’s no Trustafarian effort. And Milchy's list is peachy - especially that Whyte Boots song. |

Not including anything by THE COOKIES (or spin-offs/pseudonyms like THE HONEY BEES, CINDERELLAS, PALISADES, EARL-JEAN etc) is criminal IMO! |

Some great choices there, Rich. The only one I don't agree with - personal taste, obviously, is that track by the Girls. Always irritated me. |
