Not another Music thread.

um.. im looking for more music like:
Jonny Be Good by Marty McFly (Chuck Berry)
and Roll over Beethoven by Little Richard.

My question is twofold:
1)What type of music is it? swing? rock 'n' roll?
2)who else should I download this musicwise?

oh you cunning bean you!

These are considered 50's rock and roll.

I think its time for a music forum
see sig

i think it's time for people to stop looking at threads about music if they don't like them, and leave them to the people who do want to post on them

it's not like there's any inconvenient duplication, like with informative threads (like coloured flames, Wire wool, etc)

what does it matter if there are loads of music threads?

i've been having discussions with people about music since i was very very young, and reckon i will continue to do so till i'm very very old.

so what's wrong with doing the same here?

although possibly you're more objecting to threads that are just lists. That covers music, either\or, word association and loads of other threads. i'd have more sympathy with that. i don't really like them, so i don't usually post on them. They make very very dull reading.

Jon - off the top of me head, check out The Big Bopper, Bill Haley & The Comets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Ray Charles and Bo Diddley

I got a collection of "Billboard top 10" which had the top 10 songs from that year. You could probably do a search of any of the 50s and early 60s and would be happy with those songs.

It's not swing. It's early rock and roll. (A direct decendant of Swing though.)

Have fun with this... you can look up any era since 1955...
