The Animals' "The Story of Bo Diddley"
Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee"
Carl Perkins "Glad All Over"
Little Richard "The Girl Can't Help It"
Buddy Holly "That'll Be the Day"

I dunno, I always end up veering into old Rockabilly, C&W and Blues when I dwell on oldies.

Joan Baez - Here's To You

Does it count as "forgotten" if it's been in a Wes Anderson movie?

I've been fairly obsessed with The Beatles 'From Me To You' of late.

And OK, he's been unhipper for longer than any other person in the history of popular music but Cliff Richard's 'Move It' (1958, first ever non American rock n roll track) is pretty awesome.
