Well, Julio Iglesias has the same problem, when you come to think about it.

They left out The Vanilla Fudge, a 60's New York band that had a hit with a slow, organ dominated sound of You Keep Me Hanging On. They also did a unique version of Ticket To Ride the same way.

Bob Marley and the Wailers did a really cool version of Happy Just to Dance with You and another early Beatles, they're always fun to hear with a bit of a reggae twist!
