1. The original of "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" by Big Joe Turner -
beats Bill Haley's like a gong.

2. Can't argue with that!

However, since Haley's version was a top ten pop hit, I figured it was fair game for the poll. And to be fair, Haley's "SR&R" was one of the better white cover records of that era.

4. If not for you crazy little '50s rock and rollers...
...the next five decades of crazy little rock and rollers never would've rocked and rolled. So I thank your generation for doing us whippersnappers a big, big favor! :yourock:
