The Lady's Top 200 60's Girl Group tracks!

[ladyislingering]

In honour of something I truly enjoy in music, female artists of the 60s, I've decided to compose a list of my top 100 favourites. This isn't easy, since I love all of these songs; however, for those who have not yet discovered the magic of innocence in girlhood during the 1960s, this is a great place to start your journey.

Okay Lady. Fess up.

Had you worked on this list for a few days and had it all ready you could have posted it far more quickly.

if, on the other hand, you were posting it as you worked on it, it should have taken you far longer.

So what did you do? Were you "cribbing" from another list as you worked?
