"Surfin' USA" is basically the same song as "Sweet Little Sixteen" except with a slightly different sound and melody.
Which do you like better?
Both acts are legendary. Chuck Berry was a legendary guitarist, but I think that "Surfin' USA" was an improved "Sweet Little Sixteen". Still, had Chuck Berry's song not been released, there would be no "Surfin' USA".

After the initial first release of Surfin USA Chuck Berry was given a writer's credit. I know they stole it, but Surfin USA has a more approacable sound for me. I always prefered Ten Years After's live version of Sweet Little Sixteen.
