Here's the List, the ones in bold are the ones I can relate to;

Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
Buddy Holly - That'll Be the Day
Danny & the Juniors - At the Hop
Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode
Ray Charles - What I Say
Chubby Checker - The Twist
The Beatles - I Want Hold your Hand
Martha and the Vandellas - Dancing in the Street
Rolling Stones - I Can't get no Satisfaction
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
Aretha Franklin - Respect
The Doors - Light my Fire
The Beatles - A Day in the Life
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On



It looks like 1969 was the cut-off year, so with that in mind. Instead of Aretha Franklin, why not Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, instead of Martha Reeves I'd rather see Creedence Clearwater - Bad Moon Rising, instead of Chuck Berry how about Little Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly, instead of Ray Charles how about Jerry Lee Lewis and Great Balls of Fire, instead of Marvin Gaye how about The Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today, and instead of Danny & the Juniors how about Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love. I think the list would rock a little more, and isn't that really what's important here, otherwise if you want ballads, put on Frank Sinatra.
