Highlights Of The Album (This album is hard to highlight because all of the songs are great, so actually these are the "super" highlights!)
Maybelline was ChuckBerry's first hit, and the start-stop framework of the song became a model that many future artists copied. Roll Over Beethoven was a tune that was covered by such diverse artists as The Beatles, Mountain, and Electric Light Orchestra, but no one has ever matched the throbbing, primal energy of the original version.
