I am honestly not sure.
It would probably have been someone like Bill Haley & The Comets.
After all, I became the pimply adolescent type as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Searchers, etc were coming into their prime.
In fact I saw the Searchers live only last year - with two of the original members, and they started touring two years before The Stones!
My first two gigs, other than the school's end-of-school-year Valedictory Dances (always live) were by Led Zeppelin and (separately) Family.
(That was a generation before school dances down-graded to discos and the American term, "Prom"[enade]!)
So what existed in popular music prior to the 1950s Rock-&-Roll era, which was a bit before my time? The stagnating American big-band and crooner styles - Dad's and Grandad's music to which Rock-&-Roll arose partly as a reaction and shocked all the "Disgusteds of Tunbridge Wells" .
Though the Disgusteds were no more impressed by the up-coming, long-haired, musical illiterates as they saw them, like The Beatles! And as for the Rolling Stones....

@Jenny1234 but they've toured since we've both been alive. i've seen them twice. they are touring soon and are actually here july 5...you n hubby should fly out here
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@beermeplease I’d like to go one day. Wasn’t 2003 the last time they came to Toronto? I was strapped down with one year old twins then so concerts were the last thing on my mind
beermeplease · M
@Jenny1234 i saw them in 1989 and then i think some time in the 90s....fun fact. before they made it big my dad served mick in a restaurant in germany. mick wanted to tip but told my dad it was for the busboy and that he needed it more than him...needless to say my dad always hated the stones 🤣

They're all before my time. But I'm digging into a lot of old stuff - jazz, classical, rock, world folk - because most of the indie/pop/rap junk is just dead to me.
Right now I like the primitive raw energy I hear in early 60's rock. Would love to have seen these guys play for real back in the day :
