I like Chuck Berry and I listen to his songs because he is a magnificent rock n roll artist. He revolutionized song writing, created a new sound from his electric guitar and has his own creation. Chuck Berry is also known as the king of rock n roll over Elvis. Chuck Berry to me is second closest to The Beatles in rock n roll. Of course, The Beatles are known as the greatest artists of all time in not just rock n roll but in all music. But I still like Chuck Berry better because his electric guitar playing is bit heavier than The Beatles electric guitar playing! So do you think Chuck Berry is the second greatest electric guitarist after The Beatles? And who is better, Chuck Berry or The Beatles?

All i know is that they were important during the 1950's.

Which came first? Who really came up with rock n roll? I wasn't asking for opinions, Chuck Berry is better in mine. I was wondering who made music first.

"Roll Over Beethoven" and "Almost Grown" (in 1987, performing with other greats, including Keith Richards and Robert Cray). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeYF0qZBhYY Long Live Rock n' Roll!

The father of RnR? Or do you think that the title of the king belongs to Chuck Berry?
