Rock Around the Clock

Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets is thought to be one of the first pieces of rock music that became popular in the 1950's.

"Rock Around the Clock's international success in 1955 caused rioting in schools and cinemas, and even became the first teen anthem – the film Blackboard Jungle used it as a theme tune and was promptly banned by the American government. It opened the door for modern pop." - The Guardian Newspaper.
