The Supremes Like The Beatles Polished Pop Blank Frigging Stare

The Ronettes Like The Stones UnPolished Soul Ouch!

IMO

but that's just it,
i think the ronettes were as polished, albiet by the 'wall of sound'
i'll admit i never found spector's 'genius' ...
he through everything into a record, 10 overdubs of every instrument...
it was more of an indulgence than 'genius'
brian wilson took that approach, but it was based on the musicality, not just the effects.

I really do not see how The Ronettes are in any way more ‘soulful’ or ‘less-polished’ than the more successful Supremes. Certainly, the early hits such as Baby Love and Where Did Our Love Go are not entirely dissimilar in feel to those hits by The Ronettes.

Kilroy’s comparison with the Beatles and Stones relationship only rings true in terms of the marketing of the two groups: the Ronettes – as far as I am aware – were portrayed as the antithesis of the Supremes, who in turn, were a little more wholesome, perhaps.

KEEP VOTING! Cheesy

Soxx & The Blue Jeans This is probably the greatest Christmas LP ever released - shame it can only get a spin in December. I know everyone only gets the one vote, but there are too many who are either blind of have no taste. KEEP VOTING!

Yep

IMO, its the Stones connection - toured UK together in '64 - that is the prime reason for their votes in this poll.

Don't get me wrong, I adore the likes of Be My Baby, Baby I Love You and The Best Part Of Breaking Up, but they had few hits in comparison to The Supremes and not the same kind of longevity.

All those yet to vote: GET A MOVE ON! Grin

absolutely correct...
also, the ronettes were more sexualized, and rock fans took to that -
those were great tunes, but a supremes compilation is going to last alot longer on a trip than the ronettes.
