The 500 Greatest Songs Of The1950s Complete List

(For Steve Crawford, this was a battle between Presley and Berry for first place. Presley got top song with “Hound Dog” (somewhat controversial) and he has also the most songs here, 25 to 23 for Chuck (for comparison’s sake, Buddy Holly had seven plus five with the Crickets) and between them they make up nearly 10% of the total. And Chuck agrees with Steve as to who was, in fact, the greatest.. -IL)
