11. Rock-a-Bye-Rock
“This is a great album and it was in great shape. Unless you’re a big Buddy fan, or you have a remarkable oldies station to listen to, you probably aren’t familiar with a lot of these.”
10. I’m Gonna Set My Foot Down
“If you ever wondered from where all those early Beatles album got their inspiration then look no further. This is Rock’n’Roll of the best kind.”
9. Because I Love You
“.If you add distortion then you’d get a good punk or power pop album that would hold up as modern; Proving not only that rock and pop music was absolutely stupid from its inception but that originality is an overrated excuse if you can’t actually construct engaging bits of sound.”

8. Baby, Won’t You Come Out Tonight
“The overall quality of Holly’s second album is significantly better. It showcases more of his versatility (including a song that makes him sound like a far more traditional rock and roll singer, among other things) than the debut and features stronger songs.”
7. Bo Diddley
“Another, lesser posthumous UK hit for Holly, again with a distinctive cover of a black American hit, this time from the eponymous Bo Diddley. “
6. Reminiscing
“Buddy Holly wrote nothing but perfect pop songs and his influence cannot be overstated, or maybe it’s more that his influence should be greater than it is.”

5. Slippin’ and Slidin’
“His songwriting and delivery were key to the development of rock music. The general quality of all his music was so high and prolific, that his very short span (1957-9), in time, at the top of the music business changed our lives forever.”
4. Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie
“Pretty much some of the best rockabilly you ll hear, pretty much essencial if you want to find out how rock was developed. The music itself is pretty entertaining, with good passionate singing and nice playing.”
3. Brown Eyed Handsome Man
“What amazes me most about this album is how many different sounds Buddy tries out here. Your avereage 50’s rock and roller did their thing and did’nt stray too far from the formula.”
2. It’s Not My Fault
“Here Buddy’s all over the place compared to his contempararies. The thing is he seems perfectly suited for whatever style he tries, the perfect pop songs don’t seeming a smidge out of place with some of Buddy’s most famous rockers.”
1. Changing All Those Changes
“Buddy Holly ranges far and wide over virgin musical territory. Buddy Holly is also a fully realized artistic statement long before this was a conscious aim for rock artists. Holly lays down several covers but they mesh well with his own compositions.”
