1. I'm not sure Bo Diddley would agree with you that
"Not Fade Away" is an unprecedented arrangement!
2. Buddy Holly was a very important figure in '50s
rock and roll, of that there is no doubt. But power
pop is really a post-Beatles/Beach Boys/Byrds movement
-- maybe Buddy Holly is to power pop what Louis Jordan
is to rock and roll, to make an analogy.
