980. Bye Bye Love by the Everly Brothers (1957)

Although considered a rock classic, the Everly Brothers hit #1 on the Country charts with Bye Bye Love in 1957. George Harrison recorded an interesting cover that included Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd on backing vocals. Boyd divorced Harrison and left him for Clapton. For me, it's interesting that such an up tempo song could have such depressing lyrics.

Best Line: Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness Hello loneliness, I think I'm a-gonna cry
