Bummer. I love this kind of stuff. Do you just not like early rock n roll in general?

No. I barely heard this music growing up. It was the British bands I heard- beatles, stones, Kinks etc

I grew up with those guys too and like them, but they're a bit later than the era I was going for with my mix.

What I mean is that once the 60's kicked in over here musically then Early Rock N Roll was heard a lot less but being American you probably heard it a lot more. I do like Chuck Berry though and oddly (even though it's a different era and genre) I really like Glenn Miller!

I like Glenn Miller too (and talk about someone with a crazy story). I actually like a lot of those swing guys: Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Duke Ellington, Cab Colloway, Count Basie, etc. I have a decent amount of that stuff.

I think the Retro Teen Romance comps are my favorites that y'all have done so far. I absolutely loved both of them and they've been getting alot of play.

I really loved the 50's comp so much. Made me want to put on a poodle skirt and go share a malt with a cute guy at a diner.

I've always liked the Everly Brothers, so I was glad to see them on the list. Other stand out tracks were 'Janine', 'Brown Eyed Handsome Man', and 'Movie Magg'. Great job Janszoon!

The 80's comp makes me smile everytime I play it. Right from the first song, I knew I was going to like it. Absolute favorite track is the Pat Benetar song...other highlights were 'Hey Little Girl', 'I think It's Love Again', and of course the Cutting Crew song...it wouldn't be complete without it.

You guys rock...keep up the good work you two. I can't get enough of these!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked them both. I have a huge soft spot for old rock 'n roll, probably because it always makes me think of driving around with my dad when I was a little kid. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
