Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters...those guys made the greatest music these ears have ever heard. Raw, raucous, funky, full of life. Music these days is wallpaper compared to what those guys were putting down 50 years ago.
Chuck was a briilliant lyricist, as well as a brilliant guitar player. My fave Chuck song: Diploma for Two.

Elvis may be the recognised KING but only really being a singer he can`t be considered a rival to Berry on the guitar can he?
Much as I like Chuck Berry`s records I prefer Bo Diddley`s guitar sound

Hes had his songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix (Johnny B Goode- I'm serious, a live version), the Beatles (Roll Over Beethoven), the Rolling Stones (Little Queenie & Carol), Elvis, many others. Hes an overlooked legend. Keith Richard got a lot of his guitar style from Berry.
Also hes like a bridge between blues and rock.
