He really only had a standard line up of about 30 songs but most of them were classics. Its amazing how many movies have classic scenes featuring Chuck Berry songs, Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction, etc.
I always remember the SNL sketch where they were talking about NASA putting recordings of the sounds of Earth on Voyager I. These included natural sounds of animals, a French poem by Gaugliere, a passage from the Koran in Arabic, messages from President Carter, United Nations Secretary Kurt Waldheim and music... mostly classical but they included Johnny B. Goode from Chuck Berry.
When Aliens decoded the tape the only message the sent back to earth was “Send more Chuck Berry”
