Question: I'm starting to get into 50's rock n roll but I need more to listen to. Can you name some bands for me?

I won't give too many, but here's a couple of my favorites:
Elvis Presley
Chuck Berry
Eddie Cochran
Carl Perkins
Buddy Holly
Bo Diddley
Fats Domino
Little Richard
Jerry Lee Lewis
Ritchie Valens
Roy Orbison
Johnny Cash
The first six usually have some pretty good guitar work (especially Chuck Berry), so if you like the guitar sound, those are even more recommended.
well I'm not that good with 50's but- How about Elvis!
Yes.

Also check out Dave Edmunds, he's not from the 50s but he does play rockabilly music and it sounds simular to 50's rock.
