3 Rock Songs from the 50's that were way ahead of their time

1) Jail House Rock
Jailhouse Rock” wasn’t the norm at the time of its release. On top of him being on the crest of what was to come musically, his penchant for being a little edgier than his peers put him ahead of them. Audiences craved something that would come in and shake up their expectations. At least, that’s what the fervor behind Presley pointed to.

2) Johnny be Good

Berry’s guitar riff in “Johnny B. Goode” was the building block for rock as we know it. Countless subsequent songs made use of a Berry-esque riff after he established what the genre should sound like back in 1958. Guitar slingers of every generation have Berry to thank for setting the standard.

3) I put a spell on you

“I Put A Spell On You” is unarguably Hawkins’ most famous song. This haunting and off-kilter track was years ahead of its time. Moreover, his uniqueness makes him timeless, wowing audiences decades after the release of this spooky staple.
