‘Rock Around The Clock’ — Bill Haley And The Comets
Even though Bill Haley and the Comets recorded the most famous and well-known version of this song in the 1960s, it is regarded as a classic of rock ‘n’ roll. The record, which was published in 1954 to great acclaim, was the band’s first release. It topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and it continues to hold that position today. Among the reasons for this include the fact that it appeared in the opening credits of The Blackboard Jungle 2008, which was released in theaters throughout the nation that year. As a consequence, the song was dubbed “the world’s first rock anthem” by the British newspaper The Guardian.
