Please, don't put entries from the German hard polka band The Shanes here.

The Shanes were a Swedish rock and roll band active from 1963 to 1969. The group played in various British and American-influenced styles, including R&B, Merseybeat, psychedelia, and instrumental pop.

The Shanes were very successful in their home country and had a number of top ten hit singles, including "Chris-Craft No 9", which reached second place there in 1967.

The Shanes also released a single in the United Kingdom on Columbia Records, "I Don't Want Your Love", but it did not chart there.
