    Gee Jack!

    An all time fave is hard to pick from 1,000s of terrific songs:

    I always enjoy it when I am out dancing and the band plays Jack Scott's "The Way I Walk". (except I like the chorus to be sung as "be do-bee do-bee do-bee, do-bee do wop") and also "Rock Therapy."

    PS: 1. No offence Jack but I do not think of "In Dreams" as a Rock'n'Roll song. To me that is
    Pop music.

    2. Eh paisani, when we gonna hear a Rocked up version of "Tarantella?
    It could be like what Dick Dale did for Miserlou. I wanna hear "Eh Cumpari" too.
    Frank & Dom know how it goes " ... tu tu u saxofona ... " Mille graci!

    Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock". Ya had to be there to realize what a bombshell that was. The rocked up version of Hank Williams' "Move It On Over" is real close.

    Actually, you are right - it's not really a Rock'n'Roll song per se'. I guess I was referring to era in general so let's keep building the list.
    Cheers, JM

    Re: Your favorite Rock'n'Roll song

    I'll add a vote for
    Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and the Comets
    Move It On Over - Hank Williams

    But to add a new one (or two) to the list how about:

    Cocaine Blues - Johny Cash
    Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

    Train Kept a Rollin' - Johnny Burnette Trio
    Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
    Lucille - Little Richard
    Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran

    What's yours?

    "This Little Girl" by Dion.
    I agree with "Do You Love Me" but the version by The Contours.
    "Long Tall Sally". The Beatles version.

    Cool Re: Your favorite Rock'n'Roll song

    and let's not forget ...

    Johnny B Goode, by Chuck Berry
    At the Hop! by Joey D & The Starlighters (is that right?
    Maybe Baby by the late and great Buddy Holly.

    Here's some heartbreaking trivia - Chuck Berry did not play the famous guitar intro on the recording of Johnny B Goode. It was a session guitarist that took that honor.

    Good thread Jackmoon! I'd like to add a few of my fav's - although not ALL from 50's, but, as you say - were inspired by that era...

    Good Golly Miss Molly - Little Richard
    Mess of the blues - Elvis
    Don't be cruel - Elvis
    Teddy Bear - Elvis
    Rockin at midnight - Honeydrippers
    Mountain of love - Johnny Rivers

    And I love "In dreams" too (but it can make me sad about old boyfriends!!)

    I could add just about every 'Big O' hit and I admit many of his big ballads almost bring a tear to the eye. 'In Dreams' would have to rank among the best ever 'I've lost a lover' ballads.
