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!

The Shadows

Surely many thinks The Shadows are the best instrumental band ever. They presented a standard composition: 2 guitars, 1 bass and drums. Their first hit was Apache, a master piece released in 1960. In early sixties they collected many hits, whether alone or with Cill Richard. They later had some changes of musicians; anyway they conserved great quality and made good songs for a long time. Their lead guitar with Buddy Holly's style glasses, Hank Marvin, is surely one of the best guitarists of the century. But all the guys were fantastic musicians with a perfect sincronization and sense of rhythm.
