I like 1950's /early '60's stuff too....when I was kid my parents bought a mail order triple album called "At the Hop" ....I played it so much it became mine ...I still have it ....it has some great nuggets on it like "Mule Skinner Blues" by the Fendermen ....."Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison ...."Wipe Out" by The Surfaris ...."Oh Boy" by Buddy Holly & the Crickets ....I'm a big Buddy Holly fan ....Everly Brothers too ....both were a major influence on The Beatles (they got the idea for the name Beatles from The Crickets).... other cool stuff on the album are songs like "Charlie Brown" by The Coasters .... "Runaround Sue" by Dion ....and lot of other great tunes .....songs that influenced groups later in the sixties ....from songwriting teams ..Leiber and Stoller ....Goffin-King ....Weill-Mann ....from the Brill Building
Anybody like this music from the 50s,Thats the one resone I have xm radio, they have real good 50s music.
50's 60's are some of my favorites, I have had XM for about 6 years now...couldn't live without it..lol.. Have 1 in my car, 1 in my pick up and 1 in the house hooked up to surround sound, the sound is fantastic with XM on surround sound.
Big Swede! Nothing like travelling down the road listening to 409, Ride the Wild Surf, Drag City, Three Window Coupe, Baja (Astronauts), Little G.T.O., Surfin' Bird (Trashmen). Great stuff!
Rick Nelson; I always looked forward to his musical numbers at the end of Ozzie and Harriet - sheer marketing genius at work there, but I didn't know it. Chuck Berry; Great songwriter and even greater performer - complete with his patented duck walk! Everly Brothers; Simply two of the best harmonizers ever. Buddy Holly; Incredible - I often wonder where he would have been if given a few more years. Gene Pitney; Cool voice - glad he stuck with music as opposed to acting. Jay & The Americans if only for Cara Mia and This Magic Moment.
And I have to mention Danny Cedrone, the session guitarist for Bill Haley & His Comets; His was one of the most masterful guitar solos of all time. (Rock Around The Clock - recorded April '54) Soooo far ahead of it's time. I've never gotten tired of it! He was paid $21 bucks for his work. Tragically, he died two months later in some freak accident and missed everything that was to come.

I have to agree on that.
But it is awfully hard to imagine that northern Sweden is like southern California.
Rock and Roll music from the fifties changed into rock music. Tracks like Tomorrow Never Knows or Eight Miles High have nothing to do with rock and roll. Music changed drastically between 1965 to 1967.
American Graggitti is one of my most favorite movies, and I love the soundtrack, play it in my pickup truck all the time, I dont have xm in my pickup truck, so I play Setzer and American Graggitti. Love Wolf Man Jack
You mean American Graffiti....Yes, I love this movie too. It's one of my favorites also. I also like the 2nd one too More American Graffiti, the one where Toad goes to Vietnam. Great movies!
Rock and Rock ´n´Roll is the same thing.
Just different genres under the same name.
