I was under the impression that Bill Haley was a pioneer of the rock'n'roll genre that I very much enjoy. It turns out, however, that the songs are awfully conservative (and often chauvinistic) pop tripe, which happen to have elements of early rock'n'roll.
Occasionally there is an element the rock'n'roll magic, but the overall feeling is that it's a soulless bastardisation of rhythm'n'blues.
To prevent any further whingeing, I won't go into specifics of any songs...
