Chirping Crickets

A little goofy, but very pleasant and enjoyable to listen to.

I was brought up on this stuff, Dad was a huge Buddy Holly fan. These songs are ingrained in my soul, I knew them all before I even knew what music was. They've always been there, and I love them like family members. It's all so damn cheerful as well, how can you not love it! I wish there were more than 25 minutes of this.

A good album and an iconic sound.

not my taste

Liked it. A bunch of nice, short, pop songs.

Still one of my favorite

Largely unmemorable for me, apart from some of the more well known tunes. Not something I'd, usually listen to 2.7/5.

gammal rock'n'roll. Trevligt att lyssna på men tveksam till att det fortfarande håller. Funkar nog väldigt bra att sätta på, på en förfest.

Fun stuff, a few of the hits here. The other songs rather typical fare for the times.

Some really good songs, but a hard album to listen through. All the songs see to run into each other.

Old but gold

It swings!

Good example of the type of music. Probably wouldnt listen again, but it might be worth finding a few favorite songs on the record

a great album with timeless songs, too old fashioned to be in constant rotation but a great album non the less.

3.5

Oh, oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore! Best track: That'll Be The Day

This was an alright listen. Quick and easy to digest, but nothing special for me.

1957: Oh Boy!, That'll Be The Day

it was ok. i guess i get why it's on this list?

the 50s are the first decade of music i really care about that much, and probably the first decade that's all that interesting outside of like a few notable albums or w/e. maybe someones gonna see this thats really really really into 40s music but i doubt it. if u are that person, please give me recommendations, i'd love to have my horizons expanded :D personally i think it makes since, the 50s are the first decade with many musicians that get referenced a lot. even if someone like frank sinatra or buddy holly or miles davis or whatever is fairly far removed at this point from modern music, u can probably still recognize their names. maybe ur even really into their music!!! i think one thing everyone can agree on, though, is that a lot of 50s music is kinda lame. either quality-wise, or just sort of intangibly lame. obviously this isnt a blanket statement but like...doo-wop, 50s pop, most 50s rock, all that stuff is kinda lame by now. it doesnt have to be in a bad way though!! this album is very lame and silly, but that's just part of the charm. it's fun!!! everything here is pretty simple, short, and focused on being catchy, and the full album is under a half hour. probably for the best. if u have it in u to enjoy old-ass rock music this is definitely worth a listen :P

alright

catchy stuff, like would happily listen again but can't really judge it cause it's just too old? something like that.

Not sure where I stand on this. Good, bad... indifferent! 5/10 to be safe.

One of my favourite albums ever. Also, one of my favourite anecdote ever, taken from Little Richards self biography "The Life and Times of Little Richard". Angel, a stripper, later on said this MIGHT not be true, but seriously, never fact check a good story. “One time Buddy came into my dressing room while I was jacking off with Angel sucking my titty. Angel had the fastest tongue in the west. She was doing that to me and Buddy took out his thing. She opened up her legs and he put it in her. He was having sex with Angel, I was jacking off, and Angel was sucking me when they introduced his name on stage. He finished and went to the stage still fastening himself up. I’ll never forget that. He came and he went.”

Buddy Holly!
