[Bonomo]

I just can't narrow it down to 10. '50's era music is my fav and it's usually what I am listening to. Lately I've been very into specifically '50's rockabilly, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Elvis, etc.

[Dr.Dimorte]

flower- Fats Domino is awesome, still have a record of his stashed away.

Mars- my mother loves the stroll...truly a great song.

my father's fave song was "Rebel Rouser" and he even detailed the name on his first car, when he was 17 years old.

I love to hear the piano in alot of the 50s-60s music..big fan of Little Richard, that cat knew how to rock it..

[CreepysFan]

CHUCK BERRY.  Love almost every song I've ever heard from him.
