What am i missing?
Makes the exact same song 100 times in a row, sometimes chord for chord, note for note
let's see what songs you made op, please post links
invents rock n roll
invents space travel
invents the english language
invents electricity
invents farting into a hookers mouth
invents women shitting on film
It was the funny distinctive lyrics
The Cadillac pulled up at 104.
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that wasn't doin' my motor good
The cameras in public toilets and getting pissed on by prozies
It's his image his lyricism and storytelling that made a lasting impact, everybody knew he was a mediocre musician that rewrote the same riff 84745 times
I bet you must complain about the sameness of dub, reggae or techno too, apart of 50s rock
it's cute you think anyone listens to that shit
Got em
You sure got that right!

Yeah, and that's exactly why I don't listen to that garbage. You act like that isn't a criticism worth mentioning because you're a fucking idiot faggot.

Funny how he was able to sue the Beach Boys for using the melody of “Sweet Little 16” in “Surfin’ USA” but this guy never got a penny.
rewrote the same riff 84745 times
That's also innovative in and of itself though. Plenty of other bands did that same shtick later, like the Ramones.
same riff you've heard 6 million other times by this guy
ooh tootie frootie lyrics
So innovative. I'm shaking.
you clearly haven't listened to a lot of 50s music if you think Chuck is unlistenable. that decade could reach some pretty abysmal low points.
I tooted my horn in the hooker's mouth
Guess you just had to be there.
This motherfucker wasn't spinning some Bill Evans 45s
I knew that feel.
Nothing like clapping some cheeks with the Pat-meister crooning in the background. Just the utmost.
he would have been nobody without Johnnie Johnson
His brother, Marvin Berry
Chuck Berry owes his entire career to Colonel Parker
KEK
It could also be Teresa Brewer and her barking Chihuahua voice.
Trying not to nut too quick with Connie Francis blaring in the Packard
Packard was dead by the time she was a thing. But at least she could sing and had some interesting deep/album cuts.
Pretty much
What an innovator
This has what to do with music now?
Americans just can't help themselves
i'm not saying chuck wasn't good, just that if you've one song by him you've quite literally heard them all
god, all the rest of the 50s was pure trash though
Some people like Chuck Berry were all about the A-sides/hits and there's not much beyond that while others like Francis had most of their interesting material on B-sides or LPs while the hits were play-it-safe and pedestrian.
god, all the rest of the 50s was pure trash though
It's not that bad compared to 2010+ pop though.

Put some jazz on, man. You're not obligated to listen to the Four Lads.
I wouldn't really call what he does "crooning" more like sleep talking.
Put some jazz on, man
Lol pseud garbage.
it was a single era. there was no reason to vary songs like you do when making an album.
not true of course there did exist concept albums mostly for jazz and standards
that's basically every single thing black people have made.

This woman is older than Pat and somehow is still alive.
what a weird response. so in genres with totally different consumer bases, their preferred music consumption medium was different?
good to know, but doesn't change the fact that the 50's teenagers who liked r and r bought singles.
and they didn't care if chuck or anybody else varied stuff up.
when the new single dropped 3 months after last, they were ready for that unique rhythm, guitar playing, and funny lyrics only chuck could do (even if it was similar to the last one)
very few of those 50's fans probably played 8 chuck singles in a row (if that was even possible on a record player) like how you'd consume an album, so nobody would even have really noticed how similar the song structures were
you are completely unaware of the RCA album format aren't you lol.
like to not know about how people listened to music, fine. But not knowing how jukeboxes worked is literally missing out on the entire concept of how music worked in the 50s. I'm not even the guy arguing with you but it's very important if you're going to argue with people about this on the internet.
Could the argument be made that he invented the producer tag with that riff he did before half his songs?
and is it even fair to say all of chuck's songs sound a like?
he arguably varied his style as much or more than any of his 50's peers.
i mean two of his bigger songs - johnny b goode and memphis tennessee - are structurally very different.
i guess they kind of have the same guitar tone in both of them.
she got kicked off the Gong Show in the 70s for flashing her tits. she was always half a comedy singer anyway ala Betty Hutton going back to her first single in '53.
I mean just a few years later and you get this:
He did. Now if you heard one Patti Page song you heard them all, she was a strictly one-sound singer. There are other examples I could name of course.
Black Coffee was the first one pretty much.
People don't give a shit about the music anon, its literally never been about the music, they just want something they can dance to and a show.
Every popular artist has a good show and big live event. It doesn't matter how good your music is if the show sucks, look at these blues guys who are phenomenal players but have no stage presence so they just sit playing their shit licks with no one giving a shit because theres nothing to look at meanwhile if you have a girl with big tatas play that same exact riff note for note youll get big reactions
Dust Bowl Ballads is from 1940. I get it you want it to be Jazz, but it was folk first.
the 50s did have a lot of very bad schlock music that redefined tasteless
This was back in (I'm assuming) the 50's where music was low talent shite and anything moderately decent was a hit. See "great balls of fire."
But that wasn't a real LP just a bunch of 78s in a book. Plus if you want to go there Bing Crosby had a Cowboy Songs album a year before that.
This was back in (I'm assuming) the 50's where music was low talent shite
They had talent (especially if you compare 2010+ pop) it just wasn't used well or in a tasteful fashion.
That's what an album is though. An album is a collection. The LP wasn't invented yet. That was CBS in 1948.
That's like saying every concept album needs to be on one LP, most of them are on multiple LPs. Just like the old RCA album format.
why does every thread about the 50s on Anon Babble devolve into anons ranting about Pat Boone or Mitch Miller instead of discussing actually good music like IDK Blue Note jazz or something. you guys need to stop listening to Christgau.

This is one of my favorite examples of horrifically bad housewife pop. Dinah Shore was a fine singer in the '40s but the Eisenhower years ruined her badly.
try more like klezmer music since literally everyone involved in the making of this record was a Jew
That's why Peggy Lee wisely mostly avoided pop during this era and stuck to LPs. This could have happened to her too.
