Following on from his top 50 girl group records listed the other day, Daniel has now extended his list from 51 to 100. There are some real obscurities here, along with lots of better known tracks, but they are all worth a listen. I've included a few Youtube links for some of the less well known songs. Comments are Daniel's own. Here they are.
