Maybe they were just a little too dangerous, or maybe their small record labels lacked the financial might to make them huge hits. Either way, these are the forgotten favorites of the fabulous '50s.

Music Freak
Disappointing representation of 50s especially since you have so few lists for the 50s. I loved your 70s memories list and 80s memories list. But This one doesn't seem like it was put together with the same understanding of the decade:( Some of it was wonderful but with few lists to choose from to represent the decade it misses that higher bar. I would not like this to represent the fabulous 50s.
