All of these songs are great, but Bobby Darin's two are in a different class if you ask me.

Looking at what is left and what i've re-listened to:

 

Sixteen Tons - I like it and feels it should be above The Everly Brothers because All I Have To Do Is Dream is just so dreary in comparison. And i'm having to compare it by how upbeat the songs are because it's the last 6 and going up against Jailhouse Rock and Rock Around The Clock which are iconic 50's rock songs.

Ladyfiona subtracted 5 points rather than the indicated 6 points, so we should have
