"Fool Too Long" by Rockpile

Rockpile was an English 80s band that paid homage to the roots of 50s rock and roll. The band featured superstars like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, each of whom already earned their own chart hits in the 70s. Despite the boatload of talent, the band scored only a single chart appearance in the US when "Teacher Teacher" landed at #51 in 1981.

"Fool Too Long" was the B-side to that single, and it still rocks with all the grit and attitude that made the genre famous in the first place.

"Skin Deep" by Nick Lowe

Nick Lowe is an English singer/songwriter who blended pop, rock, and rockabilly into his eclectic catalogue. In the US, he is largely considered a one-hit wonder thanks to his classic tune "Cruel To Be Kind" (co-written with Ian Gomm) hitting #12 in 1979.

Lowe would see the charts one other time as a solo artist: in 1985, "I Knew The Bride (When She Use To Rock And Roll)" hit #77. Lowe was also a member of Rockpile.

"High School Nights" by Dave Edmunds

Dave Edmunds is a singer/songwriter from Wales who first hit the chart back in 1970 with "I Hear You Knocking", which went all the way to #4. He only hit the top 40 one other time as a solo artist with "Slipping Away", which went to #39 in 1983. In addition to his solo work, he formed the band Rockpile.

There has always been a hint of rockabilly and a lot of fun in his songs, but one that got overlooked was "High School Nights". This catchy tune that looks back on the carefree days of youth was featured in the movie Porky's Revenge in 1985. It would end up being the last time Edmunds cracked the US top 100, settling at #91.
