Bill Haley & His Comets: Rock Around the Clock
This song is pretty cool, The title makes me think that its some kind of Christmas song but it's not. It interesting what he talks about in the song. Its a pretty fast pace song, and funny about what hes talking about when every hour come. He does something different each hour. There's also a pretty cool guitar solo in the beginning.

The Platters: Only You
Ok the only thing that I don't like about this is that I think that its to slow even though its made to be a slow kind of love song. This kind of reminds me of the songs that they play in comedies. The lead singer has a very good voice that is backed-up with the singers in the background which makes it sound good. It's easy to understand what he is saying unlike some other songs where the music is louder that the vocals. So I think that its a pretty good song.

Little Richard: Tutti Frutti
This is a song that you could definitley dance to and have a good time listening to. When he does that high pitch voice you can tell the kind of style of singing he uses in his songs. He has a raspy voice which I think kind of makes the song alittle bit better. I can imagin this song being played in some kind of club. Theres is a pretty cool Saxaphone solo in the middle of the song which lets you here how fast there playing.

I really like the way that you have written down everything that you liked and disliked about the songs that the artist made and the differences in personalities of the music genres. You did a good job of articulating your thoughts on each song and I enjoyed reading all of them.
