I'm only 27, but I know good music when I hear it. I'm not going to do the fancy videos, but here are some of my favs:

Early Johnny Cash: Hey Porter, Cry Cry Cry, I Walk the Line, Home of the Blues, Folsom Prison Blues, Don't Take Your Guns to Town...great stuff.

A lot of the early Sun Records stuff: Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison

Of course, Frank Sinatra!: I've Got a Crush On You, Almost Like Being in Love, I've Got the World on a String, Witchcraft, and High Hopes were all before 1960

And I like a lot of the early rock, blues, and doo wop: The Platters, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, The Drifters

I've heard most of these golden oldies thanks to my mom, who is 66 and grew up during the beginning of the rock and roll era! Most of my childhood music memories are of classical and late 1950s stuff.

Many greats have already been posted, and I could add a bunch of Elvis stuff (Hard-Headed Woman was the first rap song, lol)..glad someone mentioned the Platters though; today's male R&B singers can't even dream of singing like that.

Ode to Joy, The 1812 Overture, and anything by Robert Johnson or Elvis.
