Advantages: Great rock 'n roll by a guitar legend Disadvantages: None
A ChuckBerry concert in the 1950's must have been a sight to behold--with his distinctive "duck walk", his big pompadour hairdo and his flamboyant style of playing rock 'n roll guitar, I know that his shows must have been charged with energy and electricity. Although he was the ultimate showman, his importance in the field of rock 'n roll music cannot be discounted--in my opinion, ChuckBerry was the single most important rock 'n roll guitarist that ever lived. He created guitar licks that formed the basis for most of the rock music that was to follow--even today, most guitarists are playing licks that are just recycled versions of those raw, primal chops that ChuckBerry invented.
Early on in his career, ChuckBerry discovered that if you rolled all of the controls on those old tube amps all the way to the right, you could get that ...
Advantages: Great Timeless Music Disadvantages: none
Well maybe I’m over doing it a little with the title, but for me ChuckBerry is, or at least his music is Rock ‘N Roll; that is, if you wanted to give someone an idea of what Rock ‘N Roll is about, then look no further than ChuckBerry and this album.
I should add that this album is called The Best Of ChuckBerry, and that there are a lot of ChuckBerry compilations like this about, only with differing tracks, so don’t be surprised if the one you have, or might get is different.
Now you may not have heard of ChuckBerry (I’d be surprised, though) but you will have heard his music, I mean, if your a fan of The Beatles, then you’ve heard Chuck’s music, if you like Buddy Holly or The Rolling Stones or The Manic Street Preachers, then you’ve heard Chuck’s music (lets face it, if you ...

My Experience
I found that buying the gold membership opened up my opportunities on the xbox. I was able to play a wider range of games and people. I rarely suffered from any technical difficulties while online, and any that i did suffer from were easily repaired. Personally i think the Membership is a great buy and is worth every penny.

It would be an overstatement to say that Chuck Berry, like some guitar-slinging Dr. Frankenstein, single-handedly built the body of rock n' roll. Still, it is very likely that the monster's heart might have never started pounding properly had it not been for Berry's wholly revolutionary synthesis of R&B and rockabilly, his infectious, propulsive songs, his flashy, rock & roll attitude, and his no-nonsense approach to electric guitar solos. The definitive collection of Berry's music, this two-disc, 50-track set is peppered with a few lesser-known cuts such as the dark, churning "Downbound Train" and the calypso-tinged "Havana Moon", as well as some entries from Berry's later period, such as the terrific "Tulane". But once Berry's classics start stacking up, there's not room for much else. Rock archetypes such as "Johnny B. Goode", "Sweet Little Sixteen", "Rock and Roll Music", and "Roll Over Beethoven" are merely the tip of the iceberg. Chess Records luminaries the likes of Willie Dixon, Hubert Sumlin, Otis Spann and Etta James and the Marquees lend bluesy, punchy, in-the-pocket back-up support. THE ANTHOLOGY is an utterly essential collection.
