Any website lists every song during R & R era?
Looking for songs that were released during a certain time period or certain artist or when the song started to get air play. Also listing of the album(cd) .

Re: Any website lists every song during R & R era?
The short answer is no. However, some clarification would help.
Do you mean "every" literally? There were hundreds of labels releasing hundreds of 45s every week.
By "R & R era" do you mean 1955-1964? The "Rock" era begins with Beatles on Ed Sullivan and British Invasion. Not sure when it ended but "Classic Rock era" ends in 1991 with Nirvana.
If you know the artist do a search for their discography.
If you know the label do a search for the label's discography.
You can search weekly charts. Every one is different(Billboard, Cashbox, etc.) some may have the release date next to the song, but songs didn't necessarily chart right away, plus for every song that charted 100 didn't.
