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
From '56: Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry Be-Bop-a-Lula by Gene Vincent Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino Stranded in the Jungle by The Cadets Young Love by Sonny James Long Tall Sally by Little Richard Why Do Fools Fall in Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers Fever by Little Willie John See You Later, Alligator by Bill Haley and the Comets Since I Met You Baby by Ivory Joe Hunter Let the Good Times Roll by Shirley and Lee From '54 and '55, I like: Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets The Great Pretender by the Platters Earth Angel by The Penguins Ain't That a Shame by Fats Domino 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

Re: Hits of the 1950's?
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
