Rated 8/10
Chuck Berry definitely should have had at least *something* on the original list. Despite having known for a while about his foundational influence on rock music, I'd never actually sat down with his stuff for a dedicated listen. I was expecting it to hit my ears as decent, if outdated, but honestly it's really really good toe-tapping music.
Shame it's from the era where it was normal to be writing songs about high school girls & referring to them as "little girl." That's always skeeved me out (cf. that godawful Dion album from the main list).
Rated 8/10
Really hit the spot. Short, catchy songs with so much energy.
Rated 10/10
Classic rock n roll from the master. 100% should have been on the original list.
Rated 10/10
Yes!
Rated 6/10
Chuck Berry is one I see who a lot of people say should've made the original list, but I personally didn't see a specific album that should've been chosen. I suppose this is the best choice, though. Ironically, despite Berry's guitar picking being out of this world (not to mention influential) for 1964, it's the piano led You Never Can Tell that is the highlight here, with the the bluesy B-side never really coming close to that high.
Rated 8/10
I'm honestly shocked that no Chuck Berry appears on the base list, considering his importance to the history of rock and roll. While this style of early 60s rock certainly isn't my main interest, there's no denying its historical importance and frankly just how fun it is.
