Topher and catherine's choice of year this week....it's the oldest so far!

As usual, post your favourite song from the year in question, youtube clip if you can. Nominations get put into a poll on Wednesday, we vote for the best song.

I'm VERY interested to see what gets posted this week!

[catherine]

Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love.

[MK Chris]

Tough choice... almost went for Jailhouse Rock and also Peggy Sue, but in the end I decided on Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill.

[C-Kay]

I'll go for a bit of Buddy Holly - That'll be the day



I remember my dad playing it when i was younger, and the film on the death of him and Richie Valens is one the first films i ever recall seeing.

I'd have gone for Richie Valens - Donna, but that was 1958

[Jill]

Flippin Eck ok.....

Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire

[foot-loose]

The Trio song!



(otherwise known as "Harry Belafonte Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)")

[CassieJackson]

Lonnie Donegan - Cumberland Gap

[Yudster]

Oooooooh!!!!!! Elvis before he was ruined by Tom Parker and Vegas - Hound Dog!

[Zoot]

Little Richard - Tutti Frutti!

[jocky85]

Nat King Cole - When I Fall In Love

[Munki Bhoy]

I know it's the 1986 video, but the song's from 1957 so it counts.

Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite

[Johnny 1989]

Christ, my knowledge of this year is non existant (I'm more a 1979-present person), however I shall have a search out for a good track

Actually these threads are rather useful, I can discover songs from years I weren't even aware of or got the year completely wrong.

I think I'll just be voting on this one. One of the few songs from the '50's I like has already been chosen...

[Nicola_Red]

I've got a youtube link this week - hurray! Cry Me A River by Julie London.

[Yudster]

Oooooooooh! I love that song, one of the first I ever had to sing with a band on stage. You keep coming up with em Nic!

[pjordan2000]

Well I'm not sure if it was in the charts in 1957 but Lord Rockingham's XI "Hoots Mon". It was definitely either 57 or 58 just hoping it was 57!

[Yudster]

Ha, cynically gunning for the Scottish vote!

[Nicola_Red]

Well I'm not sure if it was in the charts in 1957 but Lord Rockingham's XI "Hoots Mon". It was definitely either 57 or 58 just hoping it was 57!

The oracle that is everyhit.com says October 1958...

[John22]

Probably too late for the poll but for the record...

Elvis Presely - Jailhouse Rock

[Yudster]

That was '58 too........although English Bob says he doesn't mind, and I certainly don't!

[Boboff]

Tab Hunter Young Love

7 Weeks at number one, and check out the skiffle board!

In that case then, I'll go with the Everly Brothers - Wake Up, Little Susie.

[English Bob]

Poll is up!

[Candyman]

Now this is what I call a Golden Hour, well done guys, take note Radio 1

[Zoot]

Ok, I've voted.
I won't be able to play for a few weeks now, but hopefully this game will still be in full flow by the time I've come back, It still has plenty of life left I reckon...
