>These were considered the sex icons of music in the 1950s
>>129586293were the '50s the most slop decade of american history?
ha ha even back then nobody ever associated sex with Bill Haley
>>129586370That's not the 2000s.
>>129586293>I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood storeWhat did he mean by this?
>>129587077Dude was probably having massive orgies. He kept his black socks on the whole time.
Eddie Fisher and Johnnie Ray were kind of the 50s heartthrobs until Elvis came and blew them away.
>>129586370You have to understand that the good material was on albums like pic related while singles were low IQ trash for dumb people.
>>129587157Some singles were rad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMP6IGJXG3o
But yeah, that's just how the industry in the 50s was. Albums had all the serious, upmarket material and singles were just cheesy novelty songs for housewives and little kids.
>>129586293Poor Bill ended up dying in his 50s an insane recluse.
>>129586370Guess.
>>129586370One Eyed Purple People Eater is the GOAT slop song.
>>129586293were they? i thought Elvis was the sex icon
Era where nobody wanted to really be challenged. Everyone had some material comforts again after years of war and depression and didn't seek anything more than mindless entertainment that let them turn their brains off for a bit.
>>129586293lolno Bill Haley was always a giga dork
>>129586293that's not Fast Freddy & The Crooners
>>129588037Lots of challenges elsewhere though. The widespread growth and new ideas on electric guitars and other instruments, if not the music itself. Other early pioneers in TV, appliances, computers, etc.. I guess it's mostly the entertainment that suffered?
>>129587157Chet Baker
they had like 2 hits. that doesn't mean they're sex symbols.is Weird Al a sex symbol? because he's had more hits than Bill Haley.nothing against BH, all I mean is: OP is a faggot

Rock Around The Clock [KRB, 1998]Fat (pudgy), old (30), spitcurl (so?), poor Bill Haley doesn't get any respect. And it's also true that you can skip his versions of "Rip It Up" and "Apple Blossom Time." But they're not here. Instead what you get is a conception of rock-and-roll so square no one has dared imitate it, although Brian Setzer is certainly due to try. And you can as yet feel in your bones how "Rock Around The Clock" could change the world. A
>>129594624Points knocked off this comp for not including "40 Cups of Coffee."
Yep yep yep.
>>129594678If you didn't like the original cover of "Tweedle Dee" you won't like this cover of the cover of "Tweedle Dee." That said, her version of "Rock Love" isn't bad also appeared on some of her comps so was clearly recognized even back then as a keeper. Also that said, she was the classic example of a pop singer whose act only worked when she was young and could get away with "cute", maturity was not really possible even though she tried.
