I have no idea what you're talking about here. You distinctly remember the Beatles and Radiohead what?

I was actually talking about all of human history prior to the 1960s but, sure, if you want to restrict the conversation to the just the 1950s that's fine. Here are some people I think were making interesting music in the 50s:

Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Ike Turner
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Eddie Cochran
Miles Davis
Thelonious Monk
Charles Mingus
Raymond Scott
Esquivel!
Art Blakey
Ornette Coleman
Martin Denny
Harry Belafonte
Johnny Cash
