Rock o'clock - 50's and 60's music collection

This site is dedicated to 50's and 60's music, mainly to rock and roll. Brief comments from my own point of view, but not biographies, about some of the greatest 50's and 60's artists are included, alongside with some of their best songs. At present this collection covers 53 songs from 34 different artists. Before every song appear the title and the year of release. Now it's time for rock'n'roll... read, listen and enjoy!

Buddy Holly and The Crickets

This young boy from Texas was able to change music path in just two years. With The Crickets sometimes form a group with two guitars, a bass and drums; this would be the standard composition years later. The way he interpreted music was unique. And his solo riffs are unforgetables. Sadly he died in a airplane crash in 1959, being just 21 years old. In that same crash died other great musicians like Ritchie Valens, the creator of La Bamba, and the Big Booper. His songs had a great influence in the 60's pop bands.
