As a fully paid up old fogey, Jerry, I agree, the 1950s were THE decade for pop music (and jazz and skiffle in the UK and the start of the folk revival in the UK that extended to the '60s)as far as I'm concerned, never got into pop music much after those 4 Liverpool guys turned up (though I liked their early Rock 'n' roll stuff).
