RonJonSurfer Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Phil Phillips With The Twilights (I have the 45 RPM record). And it's a better version than the one a quarter century later by The Honeydrippers, but you probably would have gotten more votes Ron if you'd nomianted their version, because......Robert Plant did the vocals (burp). (We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock is of course the song which oficially marked the beginning of the ROCK ERA when it reached #1 on Billboard's Pop Charts on 9 July 1955, and the first 45 I ever owned. 10 Points for that from me RonJon, and Sea Of Love will be in there too. I haven't nominated it before, and a lot of other 50s Classics too, as I can't bear to see them "desecrated" by missing our Top Ten because many voters don't know them. I picked those two songs because of their links to more recent events. Sea of Love because many people know the Honeydrippers version, but the original is much better. Rock Around The Clock because, not only is it famous and marvelous, but it was the opening theme song on Happy Days for a while. Vote 'em in!!! p.s. When I was a kid, there was a TV offer to buy a collection of 50's hits...this was probably 1970 or 1971. I ordered it and when it arrived, I listened to all the songs I knew. But when I then started to listen to the ones i didn't know...Sea of Love jumped out as a classic. I wondered for years why it wasn't covered by a later rock era band...then The honeydrippers did it, and not a terrible version....hard song to mess up.

RonJonSurfer Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Diggs Old Mate, you're quite correct. Pommy Basket is a term of endearment. I think these last few posts are much ado about nothing. Didn't some Pom say that ? I know the term from my Monty Python obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
