One of my favorites is "Blue Days, Black Nights" , Buddy Holly.

You Can't go wrong with Gene Vincent tunes like "Race with the Devil". Cliff Gallup was amazing.

Eddie Cochran's stuff is really easy to play and is full of raw energy like "Twenty Flight Rock", "Somethin' Else" etc.

And of course, there's early Elvis. I really like both Sun Collection and the early RCA stuff. Check out the "Sun" album and "Elvis '56".

Ricky Nelson. Will there ever be a better guitar solo than James Burton's on "Believe What you Say"?

Everyone of these artists have a treasure trove of material. If you don't already, get some good anthologies of each.

And for the modern guys, I will never tire of Setzer and Deke Dickerson.
