Even though listeners, like ourselves, who aren't quite old enough to have heard them first time round.<br /><br />That said, your memories are of late night carousing. Mine are of sitting alone in my teenage bedroom with headphones on.

Never did like 'Love child' and 'reflections' isn't one of my top ten either.AGuidingLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823333742737762759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-82707516331881317292012-12-12T16:23:09.029+00:002012-12-12T16:23:09.029+00:00Supreme choices...but I too worry about Baby Love ...Supreme choices...but I too worry about Baby Love at 9, agree with dvd about Someday we'll be together.<br /><br />Hope you realise the office has to sit through all of these whenever you do a list...my reputation as a slacker increases everytime...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-10392177949653603392012-12-12T15:39:43.918+00:002012-12-12T15:39:43.918+00:00I can see where you're coming from re: the Sha...I can see where you're coming from re: the Shangri-Las, and yes, some of their songs are unbeatable. The only thing the Supremes have going for them that tips the balance for me is the amount of classic material. They were around much longer and volume-wise produced more memorable songs. In terms of quality though, it'd be a tightly run race.<br /><br />I'm Still Waiting doesn't count: there's a whole other chart in Diana's solo efforts. All your other suggestions came very close though... so close, in fact, that I actually thought a couple of them HAD made it in... until I checked back!Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-64956880565151491572012-12-12T14:37:44.949+00:002012-12-12T14:37:44.949+00:00Oooh - now that's a good one.

Imagine if you'd just heard these songs for the first time last week? My word! (Still ... 'Baby Love' at No 9!) <br /><br />Anyway, here's a few more to consider from the Birdsong songbirds..<br />Someday We'll Be Together<br />Stoned Love<br />Where Did Our Love Go?<br />My World Is Empty Without You<br />I'm Still Waiting (does that count?)<br />Come See About Me.<br /><br />Big BUT. I'd still say that (even for all those supreme, lustrous, glorious hits) - for depth and mystery - The Shangri-Las are the top girl band for me. (Not including Bananarama, obviously!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.com
