The Top Ten
1 Misirlou - Dick Dale

Aka "Theme to Pulp Fiction"

2 Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
3 C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran

Rumble gets my vote. It's so heavy sounding for its time.

6 Rebel Rouser - Duane Eddy
7 Louie Louie - The Kingsmen
8 La Bamba - Ritchie Valens

This one is very catchy

9 Walk Don't Run - The Ventures
10 Twist and Shout - The Beatles
