    Again, like the quiz on the ’60s’ songs, this one left just too many clues to be a good test of one’s memory. For example, there’s the photo of the singer onstage with a dog and the one where the first words are the same as the name of the singer and the song!

About This Quiz

Rock 'n' roll dominated popular music in the later half of the 1950s. Until then, music was a resolutely parent-friendly zone. But then everything changed. Elvis had flustered teenagers all shook up, while the likes of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis were destroying the old safety nets with a virile, passionate new sound.

Do you know the rock songs from the decade that sparked a musical revolution? See if you can identify them based on a few lines of lyrics!
