Here's a few that haven't been mentioned already. There's lots of great music from that era that I like.

Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues and I Walk The Line

The Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love and Wake Up Little Susie

Bobby Darin - Splish Splash

The Coasters - Charlie Brown



"Rock and roll's been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died." quote from the movie American Graffiti.
