I don't think you have to be for an artist if they don't appeal to you. I can't speak for other members of the gestapo (
), but I certainly respect your opinion. In the case of someone like Chuck Berry I'm just throwing his level of influence out there as something to consider even if his music isn't something that would make it onto your personal playlist. The man's influence on rock and genres related to rock is vast, so vast and ubiquitous that I think sometimes it's hard for people to even see it because a lot of it has come to be just taken as a given.
