Hi there, gumbypiz. Loving this quiz first of all, the first thing I see in here is:

4. Fun Fun Fun - The Beach Boys

But also...

6. Hey Little Cobra - The Rip-Chords (wonderfully covered by Jan And Dean, and available on Beach Boys bootlegs alas unowned by myself)

24. Little Honda - Beach Boys (and, if I remember correctly, a group called the Hondells)

and 26 is 409, by the very same Beach Boys. (Out of interest, co-writer Gary Usher at the time owned a 348, but dreamed of owning a 409.)
