Chuck was great. I don't see how anyone can honestly think I do not think that. And I prefer Chuck to T Bone. I played "Oh Carol" at my wedding. It's a rocking tune. Ymmv.

Actually, when I listen to SRV, I hear a guy who borrowed from and paid a nod to Albert King and Jimi, but who has clearly transcended the influence of these guys. When I hear Chuck Berry,
all I seem to hear is T-Bone, or at least it is so pervasive in almost every song.
