I think I'm starting with straight up rock and roll as it was a relatively easy list to come up with. Any problems with this list before we officially begin?
And if anyone is bothered by the relative lack of early cracker rock like Jerry Lee Lewis or Gene Vincent, then you can suck it. White people didn't catch up to black rock and roll until the British learned how to do it in the sixties. Deal with it. If I could justify taking Elvis and Buddy Holly off the list, I'd do it in an instant.
Rock and Roll
1. Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley
2. Little Richard - Here's Little Richard
3. Yardbirds - Having a Rave Up
4. Buddy Holly (The Crickets) - The "Chirping" Crickets
5. The Who - My Generation
6. The Rolling Stones - Aftermath [UK version]
7. Small Faces - The Small Faces ['66 debut]
8. Bo Diddley - Have Guitar, Will Travel
9. Chuck Berry - Berry Is on Top
10. The Animals - The Animals [UK version]
