I am going to post 50s music for a while. I have the impression that some here might like to hear it. I don't know a lot about 50s music, though. What little knowledge I do have largely came from watching Happy Days in the 70s. All I have lined up so far are about 50 songs.

Let's start with this one. Requests for other songs are welcome. I will post them if I can find them, which you usually can on YouTube.


Chubby Checker - The Twist

[flatcap]

Bill Haley and his Comets - Shake, Rattle and Roll

[flatcap]

Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go

Chuck Berry - School Day

[flatcap]

Danny & The Juniors - At The Hop

[flatcap]

The Harptones - Life Is but a Dream

[flatcap]

Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire

Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On

[flatcap]

Little Richard - Tutti Frutti

Chubby Checker "The Twist" is probably great exercise, and the instructions for how to do it, for anyone who's forgotten, are right there in the video.

Some of these songs in this thread have been long-time favorites of mine that I've almost played to death or listened to on the radio many times.

Islands in the Stream
Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"
Born to Be Wild
White Room
Ain't That a Shame
Shake, Rattle and Roll
School Day
Tutti Frutti
Great Balls of Fire
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
Let It Be
Maggie Mae
Can't Find My Way Home

I'm glad you're enjoying the music, agate. I am trying hard to post music people here can relate to. I am also posting songs that I would guess most haven't ever heard but might enjoy hearing. Sometimes, I post an oddball song that I am pretty sure no one has heard just to see if people will give me any feedback on it. You have several times, agate — I'm thinking of DEVO — which I appreciate. I also sometimes post a song just because I think it is funny in one way or another.

I remember all the ones Agate mentioned and use to do the twist. It was fun .
