is it strange that, being 17 years old, i want a Chuck Berry cd?

Nope - you are just developing good taste and a preference for what's classic and good at a young age!

i do enjoy my blues. better than "shredding" for sure.

Not weird at all. You just have decent taste in music.

Not at all, I'm 17 and I have a Chuck Berry CD. I also like blues like B.B. King (who's older than my grandparents), Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Lightnin' Hopkins, and I like old r&b like Otis Redding. I even like surf music. So no, it's not weird.

Chuck Berry is one of the founders of rock music. You could do worse than to study at his feet.

I really like all them "Aster" guitars. You know, like the Stratoc, Telec and Jazzm.

nah it's called being able to decide for yourself what music is good and not letting the mainstream media/rolling stone magazine/pop culture MTV do that for you. I applaud you for this.

Not at all--just don't imitate his personal life.

After all on an old SNL they had Guido Sarducci doing a report on the Voyager probe that had a time capsule sent into space--in it was a record with a variety of music from all parts of the earth--on it was Chuck Berry. Sarducci said NASA had received a response to the probe-
It was, "Send more Chuck Berry"

SO not odd at all.

You kidding?

I am 17 and have been listening to Chuck Berry since I was 15!

Really good stuff there

Haha, I'm 13 and I LOVE Chuck Berry!!
I've adored his music ever since several months ago, when I came upon "Live at the Fillmore Auditorium" in our local library. My reaction was "YESSSS!!" because I had been searching for new GOOD music. Music that had been around the block more than a couple of times.

Chuck Berry's awesome!

"When I was
An itty-bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells, hanging on a string
She said it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh!!...."

I also like B.B. King.

B.B. King is really good too!

Just noticed most of the records on my collection are older than I am... I just don't think modern bands have the same energy and bite that the older ones do.

Just realised I am starting to sound like my dad!!

who cares what you like, as long as you like it

The funny thing is that Chuck Berry was considered a shredder by 1950s standards. Great guitar player.
