Just trying to forgot about all the sad events in the world today with the mass killings, fires, hurricanes, etc. so I've turned to music for an outlet. I know this is weird as I'm 55y/o but I love 50's and 60's music. They just don't make music like this anymore. Here are two of my favorites.
Four Preps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXd8c1BLpRQ
Bachelors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4opYhQAAao
What are your favs from these eras?
Fatima in disguise? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EZ8_PE8uRw
CCR
Is there a 50s/60s version of Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, or Disturbed?
For relaxing music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...

Bob Crosby and the Bobcats - Happy Times

Pop music has been terrible for about the last 20 years. I’ll take anything from Sinatra to Zeppelin to Megadeth for $500, Alex.
Anyway:
“Peppermint Twist” by Joey Dee and the Starliters:

This generation (and the last) sadly will not have music that will last beyond 5 years. It's nothing more than 4 minute long, bad commercial jingles.

Jan & Dean
Why stop at the 50’s?

My kids, in their early-mid thirties can identify anything by Glenn Miller and a few other artists from that period.
“Peppermint Twist” by Joey Dee and the Starliters was the first album I ever bought way back in 1962 with my paper route earnings. I was 12.
Not quite,
but Volbeat did a cover of
Hank Williams Sr.’s “I’m so Lonesome I Could Cry”

Moonlight Sonata (music played from end to beginning)

I liked the Righteous Brothers; and the old Motown Sound.

Hey, FRiend - I’m 51 and I enjoy the jazz from that era.
A lot of the 1950s material is just terrific.
How could Elvis not be mentioned above?
Glenn Miller - Blueberry Hill (Billboard No.10 1940)
(Several Years Before Fats Domino)
