Comment:
When U.S. media talks about the great rock and roll of the 1950s they'll mention Pat Boone, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darin, Paul Anka, Ricky Nelson.
They'll mention Elvis Presley, but they won't refer to his best work. They'll give Little Richard and Buddy Holly their due, but gloss over their raw sexual heat. Sure you know about Bill Haley and Chuck Berry, but what about all the other amazing early rocknroll that turned Liverpool on its heels in the 1950s? What about all the amazing early rocknroll that influenced Elvis and Chuck Berry and Motown? And what about all the amazing early rocknroll that stands on its own as awesome entertainment?
Here are twenty-nine tracks made before Brian Epstein met the Beatles (and one track from the mid-1960s, Levon and the Hawks' "He Don't Love You" just because somehow it fits.)
