Rock Around The Clock-Bill Haley and The Comets 6. Little Star-The Elegants 7. Hushabye-The Mystics 8. Why Do Fools Fall In Love?-Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers 9. I'm Not A Juvenile Delinquent-Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers 10 Come Go With Me-The Del Vikings 11. Tonite Tonite-The Melokings 12 The Angles Listened In-The Crests 13. Pretty Little Angel-The Crests 14. At The Hop-Danny and The Juniors 15. Rock 'N' Roll Is Here To Stay-Danny and The Huniors 16. I'm Gonna Laugh At You-The Calendars 17. I Wonder Why-Dion and The Belmonts There are some more but those are the basic songs I like nad love. By the way, Tonite Tonite by The Melokings is my favorite. It's just that I forgot to put it at number 1 and was too lazy to fix it, and no, It's not a typo, it's how it's spelled in the song. Actually come to think of it, it might be a 60's song, but I'm not sure. I'll include it on the list in the 60's video.

What? No Doo-wops? No Frank Sinatra? No Bebop or Cool Jazz? No popular standards? Maybe nobody on Mojo was living in the USA in the 1950s. It's a good list but mostly confined to one musical style,except for Darin and Cash. It was a great innovative decade for many types of music,and the technology:45s,LPs,and vinyl stereo would dominate for a few decades.

An underrated song that was popular in the 50s in my opinion that I found from looking at Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits is Santo and Johnny's Sleepwalk from 1959 which rarely seems to get mentioned in lists of 50's songs for some reason. Definitely sounds ahead of its time. Otherwise not a bad list . Also there is an older video for Mack the Knife.

They used the song to say that this is what will make your kids bad, and the song became an instant hit from that. Kids couldn't get enough. Had they not used it, it wouldn't be nearly as well known as it is/was.

* - If you go by Popularity, Influence, Impact, The Charts, Sales then and Sales in the later Decades - it goes as follows : 1. Jailhouse Rock (By far the Heaviest Song of the 50’s and another note, - Elvis started recording in 1953 and his Rockabilly Style started in 1954) 2. Johnnie B Goode (The piano player for C.Berry says that he was the true writer of this song...) 3. Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis again-Nothing ever sounded like this tune at the time) 4. Hound Dog (Elvis’ idea for this tune was so explosive and set the rock n roll phenomenon) 5. Don’t Be a Cruel (Yes Elvis again-Most artists of that period claim this as there favourite tune) 6. Rock Around the Clock 7. That’ll Be The Day 8.Great Balls of Fire 9.Good Golly Miss Molly & 10. Blue Suede Shoes (Both Carl & Elvis get the credit on this as they both made a huge impact) *Leave the race excuses out of it and all the other lame excuses, (who’s the better guitarist, who wrote songs, Yada,Yada,Yada - it’s who created the best songs on vinyl for our listening pleasure - “ELVIS OWNS THE 50’s” This is all WatchMojo needs to say !

Also there was the most influential country singer/songwriter of all time - Hank Williams. The 50s wasn't all about Rock & Roll, just the same as the 70s was certainly not all about Punk or the 60s all about hippies or The Beatles.

Jerry lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Johnny Cash and Elvis are the most amazing musicians to date. Jerry’s piano skills are impeccable. Eddies twangy guitar and rebellious rockabilly mix of country and rock is extraordinary. Buddy’s smooth voice and amazing singing and guitar playing ability is the work of a genius. Gene was not the most famous star but his attitude and incredibly rebellious music will go down in history. Johnnys country talents are infamous and eternally incredible. Elvis was the King and has yet to be topped in popularity and talent to this day.
