| Re: SURVIVAL GAME: British Songs that conquered US Charts This is such a fantastic list of classics that pulling any but a few is difficult. Again, with the current, pathetic schlock of music releases that we see nowadays, most of the titles below shine even more brilliantly. It's also interesting that by the '90s, the British acts weren't hitting American charts as they did previously....likely because American labels weren't interested in promoting British and European acts as before. This one can go (no-brainer)....153) WannabeSpice Girls and this....19)I'm Henry VIII, I Am Herman's Hermits (it's just a classic when you're drunk) 1962 1) Stranger on the Shore - Mr. Acker Bilk 2) Telstar - The Tornadoes 1964 3) I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles 4) She Loves You - The Beatles 5) Can't Buy Me Love - The Beatles 6)Love Me Do - The Beatles 7)A World Without Love - Peter & Gordon 8.
