I very much like Bo Diddley and his signature twangy sound, just wondering if anyone could recommend any songs I might like based on this. Thank you. Thank you dearly.

Bo is one of a kind for sure. It may help to have a rectangular Bo Diddley model Gretsch guitar for that unique twang. Lots of people have covered his songs. Some songs based on this Shave-and-a-haircut rhythm are: Buddy Holly- Not Fade Away, The Who- Magic Bus, George Thorogood- Willie And The Handjive, George Michael- Faith, Johnny Otis- Castin My Spell

The Super Super Blues Band.
I don't know any like Bo. But Him, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf is not bad.
