Try Fordham Universities Archives on Group Harmony Review. I remember perhaps half of these songs mostly from the early 50's but many into early 60's pre English invasion.... Great music, great groups, and Dan Romanello gives all sorts of history of the early groups. Might be too early for most of you!

C'mon Bill, did someone piss you off and you're taking it out on us by starting a thread about the worst period in rock n roll. After Elvis and before the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, nothing was happening in music. Just a bunch of bubble gum bullshit. In fact, the only significant musical force I can remember during that period, was these guys...

 

[Billo_Really]

You really suck, Bill.

 

[Billo_Really]

Well, this one was pretty good...

 

[Billo_Really]

Don't ask me why I like this guy. I just do.
