I was really surprised at KRTH's Firecracker 400 this year. It looks like they actually counted the votes. With Louie Louie as #1 that was really unexpected. I believe the only 1950's song is #35 Lla Bamba-Ritchie Valens. There are a few other surprises like #357 Thee Midnighters-Whittier Blvd., but most of the songs are the ones you expect to see. You can check out the whole top 400 at their website.
Here is the top 40
