My northern soul chestnuts (as opposed to some obscure ones), in no particular order, are

1. I'm On My Way - Dean Parrish
2. Potion of Love - The Ambers
3. Seven Days Too Long - Chuck Wood
4. What you Gonna Do About Love - Jackie Wilson

Exactly what I was going to say.

EVERY record-buyer knows that top fives do NOT represent the top five in any order, just their five favourites. It's the law. Blimey, like, how stupid can you get? Derrrrr...

But just for you, I've edited the first post. I feel embarrassed for you that I would have to.

And Richie, for you, the horse has already bolted on the 'weirdo' line, believe me.

My friends and I do 'top tens' every day at work and they ALWAYS have an order, have you not read 'High Fidelity'?

 

[CHAPPERS]

So why number them? That's just confusing.

Well, you've got to learn to do them properly, haven't you? I have read it, and they have no preferential order, just a listing of five...

If counting to five is confusing for you, Max, then the numbers are there just for you.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It' snot the numbers that are confusing (they're just tricky), it's the fact that there is no order to your choices yet you seem to have put them in one.

Tosser.

What's the definition of Northern Soul?

The explanation on the homepage is a bit clumsy, but you could do worse than start here...

Kinda what I thought. Not really a genre of music at all is it?
