  Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Muddy Waters all SUCK!?! Wow, your racism makes you say really stupid things--if they all suck so bad, why do bands cover their songs, even today? (well, not so much little richard, but Waters and Berry for sure). Why are Chuck Berry's three chords the basis for almost EVERY punk song put out since the seventies? Without Muddy Waters their would be no Led Zeppelin as you know and love them (check out some Willie Dixon if you wanna hear where Jimmy Page stole a lot of riffs for Zeppelin songs). The Rolling Stones, who are HANDS DOWN the world greatest rock n roll band, took their very NAME from a Muddy Waters song.  Led Zeppelin would have existed without Muddy Waters. Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones were not the first rock bands or anything. Like I mentioned earlier on this thread there was never a noticeable Black Blues(Delta Blues) influence on rock music until the late sixties in the psychadelic era, in the 50s and early 60s I don't recall ever hearing a Black bluesy influence on rock at all. And yeah, I would concur that Little Richard(Dick for short hehe) sucks. But Chuck Berry has some good songs, I don't listen to Muddy Waters either, not much of a fan.  I've always hated punk rock, maybe that's why.:p  In your opinion at least. Led  Zeppelin blows those race traitors away, and no Jimmy Page didn't steal anything from some old caterwauling Black Bluesman, and Led Zeppelin had a few Delta Blues inspired songs in their early days but then they abandoned that sound, and it was only a few songs. People exaggerate it. The Rolling Stones got the idea for the name of their band from a song called Rolling Stone, yup, so what? What's in a name? Like I always say......I could name my son Kunta Kintay but he'd still be White wouldn't he? They just liked the name of the song, Rolling Stone...oh! We'll call our band the Rolling Stones! Big deeeeal.:p
