Subject: Best and worst years of music: 1955-1963 only

Written By: yelimsexa on 01/26/09 at 11:01 am

Let's restrict this to the early rock/malt shop era.

Best- 1957: Elvis has his second best year but Teen Pop EXPLODES (the first of many decades where such a genre explodes in the '7' year), such as the Everly Bros. Doo-wop at it's peak.

Worst- 1962: Surf Pop/Motown/British Music still a year away from ballooning, Doo Wop in big decline, lots of ugly folk pop.

Folk-rock in 1962? The folk-rock movement was 1965.
Are you sure about that, or could you give some examples?
