Yes. I've heard it said, correctly I believe, that whatever music you love from ages 14 to 16 is YOUR music and always will be. I really love a lot of 60's music but for me nothing will ever match the magic of Elvis, Jerry Lee, Fats, Little Richard, Buddy, etc. from the late 50's.pinball1970 said:I would have been absolutely nuts about rock and roll if I would have been a teenager in the 50s. Bill Hayley, Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Little Richard. Brilliant.
