For me personally (as I love raw sounding 50's R-n-R) the song American Pie is beyond outstanding and a classic

I also see a parallel between how 50's music faded away (but never really dies) and how 80's hair rock faded away (Cobain and Alternative rock all but killed hair music as much as the Beatles killed 50's rock)

More parallels can be drawn between the fun loving/pushing the limit attitude of 50's rock and the excess of 80's rock

But truth be told (as painful as it is) 80's hair band rock excesses had to stop sometime

I'm just glad I was there for the ride
