Bill Haley and his Comets

The coolest thing about bill haley and his comets is how unfashionable they are. They seem completely forgotten and irrelevant, that's just the reason you need to like them more.
To my ears this is the most rocking music of the 50's. Danced at parties everywhere they are possibly the most influential band in rock n' roll ever. 50 years on and their music still sounds grand.

In case you ever have the need to appear retro cool in front of your friends, just put on their greatest hits. And if you ever see a band with a more striking look sporting matching jackets, a sax and a big upright bass like they did please let me know.
