Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts “….
For lovers of real Rock 'n' Roll.
Which means the 1950's.

FYI: Shane asks Kevin if the reason Elvis had the hit version of Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" was because Carl got sick and couldn't tour. No, it was because Carl and his band were on their way to NYC to perform the song on The Ed Sullivan Show when on the way were involved in a serious car accident, their appearance therefore being cancelled.
Speaking of real Rock 'n' Roll, here's one of Dave Edmunds' last recordings released by a major label, a great one:

All great responses!
Rockpile (a true Supergroup, Edmunds and Nick Lowe joined by Billy Bremner on guitar and vocals, Terry Williams on drums. After Rockpile Terry joined Dire Straits. Terry and Dave have retired, Nick and Billy are still active) were one of the best bands I ever saw live, NRBQ another. I saw NRBQ awhile back in a Portland club, and though Terry Adams is the sole remaining original member they not only were still great, but actually sounded very much as they always have!
Speaking of Carlene Carter, for a while she had NRBQ guitarist Big Al Anderson working in her road band (there’s an episode of Austin City Limits with the two of them on stage). Here are she and Edmunds lip-synchng to a song off her fantastic Musical Shapes album:
