Ignoring the later (or earlier) works of these people, let's just consider what they did in the 1950s. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

The ones I know I really love, like Sinatra, Davis, Ray Charles,
Thelonious Monk and Ella Fitzgerald but I would vote for Billie Holiday if she was here. Anyway among these it's gotta be Miles Davis if only for Kind Of Blue. |

Buddy Holly - I like his sound and his melodies. hon.mention to Ray Charles but I don't know enough of his songs yet. "The Night Time is the Right Time" is a stunner though. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

The 1950's were before my time (except for the last few months). In the absence of Dave Brubeck it's not to hard to vote for Miles Davis. Kind of Blue is pretty good. -------------

Miles. If I were sent back in time and confined to the '50's I'd be listening to more Miles than anything else. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Davis Monk Ella But I can't forget about the man in my avatar. Olivier Messiaen, whose 1950's work Quatuor pour la fin du temps is one of my favorite pieces. |

I'm the first one to vote for the real King Of Rock 'n Roll: Chuck Berry? Might've voted for Jerry Lee Lewis if he was here too. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Buddy Holly Totally ahead of his time as far as a rock artist is concerned...I possess all his recordings..he was a genius. His output was phenomenal...and he was dead at 22 years of age. Listen to both Not Fade Away and Every Day....perfect depictions of "less is more". |

Elvis. Lennon said that Elvis died when he went in the army - some truth in that. However, in the mid-fifties he was magnificent. ------------- Haiku Writing a poem With seventeen syllables Is very diffic.... |
