Tapio's Top Artists and Song Lists By Tapio Vaisanen - tapiov@pcuf.fi - Posted November 17, 2002 Here is my top ten list today, though I would classify Eddie, Dale, Ronnie & Gene as rock'n roll artists. Eddie Cochran Dale Hawkins Charlie Feathers Ronnie Hawkins Elvis, Scotty & Bill Carl Perkins Johnny & Dorsey Burnette Gene Summers Billy Fury Bob Luman Recently we had a discussion what's rockabilly and what's rock'n roll. This is one of those subjects that we have had on these mailing lists at least 100 times. I posted the following list to original rockabilly mailing list, it's my definition of rockabilly, 100 artists, 100 songs, usually with wild hiccup vocals, guitar break and upright bass. 01 Elvis, Scotty & Bill: That's All Right (Mama) 02 Tommy Lam: Speed Limit 03 Pat Cupp & His Flying Saucers: Long Gone Daddy 04 Bob Luman with Mac Curtis Band: In The Deep Dark Jungle 05 Glen Glenn: Everybody's Movin' 06 Eddie Bond & The Stompers: Boppin' Bonnie 07 Charlie Feathers: One Hand Loose 08 Sleepy La Beef: All The Time 09 Mac Curtis: Granddaddy's Rockin' 10 Jimmy Haggett: How Come You Do Me? 11 Carl Perkins: Honey Don't 12 Al Ferrier: Blues Stop Knocking 13 Don Willis: Boppin' High School Baby 14 Hal Harris: Jitterbop Baby 15 Hayden Thompson: Love My Baby 16 Curtis Gordon: Rock, Roll Jump & Jive 17 Jimmy Patton: Okie's In The Pokie 18 Surf Riders: I'm Out 19 Roy Orbison: Ooby Dooby 20 Tyrone Schmidling: You're Gone I'm Left 21 Bobby Crown: One Way Ticket 22 The Lonesome Drifter: Eager Boy 23 David Ray: Lonesome Baby Blues 24 Andy Starr: Rockin' Rollin' Stone 25 Corky Jones: Hot Dog 26 Steve Carl With The Jags: Curfew 27 Ronnie Self: Pretty Bad Blues 28 Ray Scott: Boppin' Wigwam Willie 29 Roc LaRue with The Three Pals: Baby Take Me Back 30 Jack Scott: Two Timin' Woman 31 Jackie Morningstar: Rockin' In The Graveyard 32 Larry Hart: Freight Train 33 Tom Tall & His Tom Kats: Stack A Records 34 Hank Sanders: Been Gone A Long Time 35 Jack Earls: Slow Down 36 Royce Porter: Lookin' 37 Johnny Burnette Trio: Tear It Up 38 Buddy Holly & The Crickets: Blue Days Black Nights 39 Johnny Carroll: Hot Rock 40 Larry Donn: Honey Bun 41 Curtis Johnson & The Windjammers: Baby Baby 42 Billy Fury: My Advice 43 Alvis Wayne: Sleep, Rock-aRoll, Rock-a-Baby 44 Billy "Curley" Barrix: Cool Off Baby 45 Sammy Masters: Pink Cadillac 46 Maynard Horlick: Do The Bop! 47 "Uncle" Buck Lite: Mr. Ducktail 48 Herbie Duncan: Hot Lips Baby 49 Johnny Powers: Long Blond Hair 50 Benny Joy: Spin The Bottle 51 Jimmy Pritchett: That's The Way I Feel 52 Gene Sisco: Turning The Tables 53 Don Gibson: I Ain't-A Studyin' You Baby 54 Wiley Barkdull: I Ain't Gonna Waste My Time 55 Johnny Jano: Some Other Time 56 Norman Witcher: Somebody's Been Rocking My Boat 57 Don Cole: Snake Eyed Mama 58 The Rhythm Rockers: Jukebox, Help Me Find My Baby 59 Danny Dill: Hungry For Your Lovin' 60 Lloyd McCollough: Half My Fault 61 Bill Browning & The Echo Valley Boys: Wash Machine Boogie 62 Junior Thompson With The Meteors: Raw Deal 63 Ray Smith: Willing & Ready 64 Tommy Spurlin: Hang Loose 65 Hender Saul: I Ain't Gonna Rock Tonite 66 Floyd Lee: Go Boy 67 Wayne Williams And The Sure Shots: Red Hot Mama 68 Howie Stange With Jim Flaherty's Caravan: Real Gone Daddy 69 Jimmy Stayton And His Rocka-Bye Band: You're Gonna Treat Me Right 70 Bob And The Rockabillies: Your Kind Of Love 71 Orangie Ray Hubbard: Sweet Love 72 Dorsey Burnette: Bertha Lou 73 Joey Castle: Rock'n'Roll Daddy-O 74 Rudy Grayzell: Ducktail 75 Edwin Bruce: Rock Boppin' Baby 76 Sparkle Moore: Skull & Crossbones 77 Barbara Pittman: I'm Getting Better All The Time 78 Hank Mizell: Jungle Rock 79 Rick Nelson: One Of These Mornings 80 Eddie Cash & The Cashiers: Doing All Right 81 Roy Moss: You're My Big Baby Now 82 Werly Fairburn: I'm a Fool About Your Love 83 Carl Junior And The Martinaires: Look Who's Lonely 84 Russell Spears: Beggin' Time 85 Ray Campi: Play It Cool 86 Jackie Lee Cochran: Mama Don't You Think I Know 87 Skeets McDonald w/Eddie Cochran: Heart Breakin' Mama 88 Don Wade: Gone Gone Gone 89 Bud Landon & The Rhythm Masters: Runnin' Man 90 Marty Robbins: Pretty Mama 91 Danny Reeves: I'm a Hobo 92 Andy Anderson: Johnny Valentine (Sun version) 93 Curtis Potter: I'm A Real Glad Daddy 94 Buck Griffin: Stutterin' Papa 95 Sonny Fisher & The Rocking Boys: Rockin' Daddy 96 Wade & Dick: Bop Bop Baby 97 Gene "Bo" Davis w/Eddie Cochran: Drowning All My Sorrows 98 The Van Brothers: Servant Of Love 99 Joe Griffith: Big Sandy 100 Allen Page: Dateless Night Here's another list - 110 rock'n roll songs, in no particular order.
