True, but you don't hear any of that on the records; that was my point.

Haha you can't hear Elvis gyrating all the way through Heartbreak Hotel? The gimmicks just became genre

I have always thought the music made on this side of the Atlantic was superior.

Not. sure. if. serious.

Good that this thread has put you right, mind. I'm sure we'll see as the thread progresses that certain British groups became very good at adapting American roots music.

No serious mate. Brit rock music is superior;-)

Surprised there is still some classics left 23 songs into this playlist, but here we are.

Three artists recorded this song in 1954-55, but I'll take the first one that came out in February 1954 vs. the Bill Haley & His Comets version in June of that same year. It would come as no surprise that Elvis would follow in January 1955 with his version once the first ones become popular. I'm sensing a theme here, and I'll strongly go original. Big Joe's version that is #127 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time is good enough for me.
