No, I just meant, don't get hung up thinking of Everly Brothers-sounding folks... 'cause it's not a very similar artist.
Who is MPD Lmt? Does that stand for something? I'm sure you've got the MP3... I'm just looking for a website or somethng to confirm they recorded it so I can credit ya?

Hi again!
To help others along: #25 is by The Troggs - perhaps Paul can name the tune, 'cause I don't know it.
And I assume the title for #16 must be Just A Little Bit, but I don't know any artist with a song like that (except for Blue Cheer, but I don't think that's it).
I've also found #31: Little Willy by The Sweet, and #36: Little Things by Dave Berry (I assume - it's the only version I can think of).
