Best girl band ever?

[Looby]

Have Girls Aloud become more commercially successful then the Spice Girls yet?

I'd imagine they've had more hit singles by now and I'm sure they've released more albums.

Can you tell I don't actually know?

According to this they have now "just entered the Guinness Book Of Records for the most consecutive top entries in the UK by a female group, eclipsing the Spice Girls top ten single record with 16 hits."

[chico enrico]

Shonen Knife.

 

[RubyBlue]

Did anyone actually really like the Nolans?

 

[ska invita]

Martha and the Vandellas were surely at least the equal of The Supremes.

i reckon better

for me heatwave and dancing in the street top anything the supremes did

dancing in the street inadvertantly became the anthem for civil rights riots, which makes a kilelr track even more powerful

also, hows this for an anorak fact about dancing in the streets:

Ivory Joe Hunter had a few hits of his own but felt more at home producing records. Hunter liked everything about the song except the drum track - it needed more "bump and grind." An idea hit him and he excused himself, went to his car, and brought back a crow bar. He sat on a concrete floor and said: "Roll tape."

They went through the song one more time while Ivory Joe Hunter slammed the tire tool against the concrete floor on the downbeat to create one of the most defined and distinctive drum beats in Rock And Roll history.
