And honorable mentions have to go to:
Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry, Elvis. All could be included but this is based just on my own favourite tracks.
My initial draft for the sixties:
1960: Hank Ballard - Broadway
1961: ?
1962: ?
1963: ?
1964: ?
1965: The Who- The Kids Are Alright
1966: Lee Hazlewood - My Autumn's Done Come
1967: Little Richard - Get Down With It
1968: Rufus Lumley - Stronger Than Me
1969: The Upsetters - Return of Django
I'm stretching the "rock" element a bit so I might have to have a rethink.
Suggestions for 61-64?
