My MC has fallen into the 50s, and can't adjust to the world around her- especially music. Imagine going from Uprising by Muse to... well yeah, you get it. I just need some good examples of hits from like, 56 years ago. Thanks :D

The 50's is the birth of rock and roll and a lot of amazingly great music.

Your character however may have trouble adjusting to things like Perry Como most of these

Just so you know, I've got all these songs and Muse in my iTunes. If you want more recommendations, let me know. I'll ask my Dad. He listens to Oldies all the time. Stole the XM radio he gave me when I was a freshman to do it, too. ;P
