	And they sound nothing like Chuck Berry.  That's like saying most hip hop since Primo and Pete is derivative, and a rip off of their style (which some is). They are too influential and layed down milestone sounds in the genre where everything afterward owes some due to that, whether it be major or minor.</div></blockquote>

	"Surfin USA" is a straight-up plagiaristic rip-off of Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen."  The Bitch Boys took full credit for the song until Berry complained, and they caved and gave him a credit.  I'm not sure if that ever happened to Beethoven.<br />

	If you think the Bitch Boys are more influential than Berry, well what can I say.<br />
	<br />
	What's the Beethoven equivalent of drivel like "Be True To Your School"?
