Please recommend me good 60s girl bands

[bloodyjack]

I dare you!

[mr_hat]

1. They were mostly on Motown. Plenty to choose from,

[charlyvi]

13. Motown had girl singing groups...

but no girl bands. Supremes, Ronettes, etc.

[flamingyouth]

2. Cake!

Pretty hard to find their LP, and I'm not sure if it's on CD, but it's one of my favorites from the era.

[bloodyjack]

9. all I could find on amazon.com was this Touch The Wall of Sound comp

includes "baby that's me" and a host of other girl bands

soulseek, ahoy!

[flamingyouth]

11. Yeah, I don't think their album has ever been released on CD

It is crying out for re-release! I remember Googling them a few months back and finding almost nada.:shrug:

[name not needed]

3. Please reccomend me good 90's boy bands!

Ha! It's impossible! :P

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

15. Hanson

:P

[name not needed]

17. I said GOOD!

Not painfully annoying! :D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. haha

Give it up, I know you secretly loved the Backstreet Boys.

[name not needed]

22. Speak up! I don't think they heard you in GERMANY!

:7

[Kellanved]

32. as a matter of fact, they did

:P

[name not needed]

34. Yeah, but not in that country next door that starts with a p or something.

[intheflow]

4. My favorite was Martha and the Vandellas

But there were also the Supremes, Ronnie and the Rondettes, and the Shirelles.

[treefrogjohn]

5. GTOs!!

Girls Together Outrageously. Oh. You said "good". I assume you mean musically.

[flamingyouth]

6. I actually like that record

Their ode to Rodney Bingenheimer is hilarious. :D

[miss_kitty]

8. circular circulation

i circled continuously...

[Catch22Dem]

7. The Shirelles

Soldier Boy
Oh my little Soldier Boy
I'll be true to you

AND

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love, so sweetly
Tonight, the light, of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow.

[Catch22Dem]

10. Supremes

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. You bet!

[miss_kitty]

12. though not a group...

Mary Wells had back up. 'My Guy'-I would say if pressed my favourite song growing up, because I thought the lyrics were great.

Lesley Gore was produced by Quincy Jones and SOUNDED like a group...

[flamingyouth]

14. Now, I LOVE Lesley Gore - right on for mentioning her

And she's always slagged off by people, I've found. I mean, who hasn't danced around their living room with a martini while playing "You Don't Own Me" over and over again? :D

I can't be the only one! :D

[miss_kitty]

16. She's great

and I think "You Don't Own Me" was a milestone ideologically speaking, if nothing else. And she's slagged off by people who don't realise Quincy Jones was her mentor. He wouldn't have had much to do with her if she had been shite.
:hi:

[wanpete]

18. Supremes rule!

[ScrewyRabbit]

20. Not a gir *band*, but...

Nancy Sinatra. If you don't own her Greatest Hits compilation yet, you need to.

[flamingyouth]

23. "Some Velvet Morning" is one of my favorite songs

It's great.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. No group but Dusty Springfield

[bloodyjack]

24. Cilla Black, anyone?

[bloodyjack]

25. Update on Cilla Black: Oh, crap, she's really good

I don't care if she broke up the Smiths

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. Pleasure Seekers

You got the kind of body
That makes me come alive
But I'd rather have my hands across
A bottle of Colt 45

Baby, come on over
Come on over to my side
I may not live past 21
But what a way to die!

[NightTrain]

27. You DARE me? Fine!

[Kire]

28. Edie Brickel & the New Bohemians

they were great in the Oliver Stone 60's, anyway

[Dukakis88]

29. The Paris Sisters

Their big hit was the Phil Spector produced "I Love How You Love Me." Listening to that song is more erotic than a hundred loofas.

[CanuckAmok]

30. The Carrie Nations!

Yeah, baby!!

[Dukakis88]

31. What a great movie.

Thank you, Roger Ebert.

[tuvor]

35. Here's a great album

There are more in the series of 60s Brit chicks, but this is the only one I have.
