That would be sweet.
Is it bad that I haven't gone to sleep yet and your leaving to school?

Please no Elvis Presley... He's almost as jarring as the Beatles... Johnny Cash is arguable as Rock...
Why not take it all the way back old school style? Include some crazy Jackie Brenston/Jimmy Preston/Chuck Berry/Little Richard packs. The true great-granddaddies of Rock... Since the white guys who made it famous originally just stole these guys' songs and sometimes didn't credit them.
For example to quote Elvis:
"A lot of people seem to think I started this business, but rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it, I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that."
P.S. What is with people thinking that The Stray Cats are and oldie band? They were formed in 1980... They just play in the old school style...

You gotta have a little Presley he was a big part of that era you can't exclude him...
Also Louie Louie by the Kingsmen is a definite must because that song is just alla round catchy, i agree Chuck Berry is great!!
