I cannot let this pass. The secret of appreciating Chuck Berry is that you have to listen to songs other than “Johnny B. Goode” and “Oh Carol”. Though now past his prime, he’s put out an impressive body of work, and the songs don’t all sound the same. It’s just that you never hear the other ones. To name a few of Chuck’s songs that go against the usual grain, check out “Havana Moon”, “Almost Grown”, and “Ingo” (instrumental).

You seem to think that the oeuvre of the talented and gifted Mr Ernest Evans (aka Chubby Checker) is limited in musical depth. You have forgotten to cite his radical departure from the ‘Twist’ genre and perhaps his magnum opus -
“Hooka Tooka My Soda Cracker”. Here’s one of the many links to that song:
http://www.songfacts.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=questions&Number=1622&page=4&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1
That song has had the scholars debating to this very day.
Obviously, that was typed with tongue firmly in cheek. However, you have to admit that “Chubby” did issue at least one song that was NOT twist-related. Incidentally, of all the songs you did list, the one least like the others (and probably the best), is “Let’s Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer”. Ever notice when he is in an Oldies Revival and if he only gets one song, he will always choose that one.
Pretty much anyone who spends any time listening to it.
I have, and I can’t. In my experience it’s all “Wuuuuurgh!” followed by incomprehensible growling over a thumping drum beat and some heavy guitar chords.
A tubby short blonde a tall brunette? That’s the ones I saw. But for the life of me I cannot rememeber their names.
I realized another one today. It’s strange, I hate oasis because all their music is the same, but I like Huey Lewis And The News Because all their music is the same!
You can totally sub in Hip to be Square over the Power of Love.
The funny part is that Huey Lewis’s one song was so good, Ray Parker Jr. did a version of it, too.
Actually, both Huey Lewis and Ray Parker ripped off M’s “Pop Muzik.”
But you can’t do anything with The Heart of Rock and Roll or I Want A New Drug.
Since I’m the first person to say this, I have a feeling I’m about to get lynched.
U2
I can listen to any of their songs but I can’t listen to a whole album. After 2 or 3 songs, I want to scream at the repitition.
The Doors
Try listening to more than two Doors songs, Phedre. Strange Days, Riders on the Storm, Five To One and Soul Kitchen sound nothing alike.
I was unfortunate enough to have a roommate with a Doors obsession. Ick. Just monotonous drivel.
Yes, Love Her Madly sounds just like The End. 
Some of their songs do get a bit interchangeable, but I can’t speak for the stuff that doesn’t get played on the radio.
Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot…
Other than try, desparately, to forget them, which is very hard to do when you hear any other goddamn song by Huey Lewis because they are all the same goddamn song!
Gah!
Dang, somebody already beat me to The Knack, but I have a couple of others.
Tone Loc, and his, was it Funky Cold Wild Thing or Wild Thing Medina? 
And Stained, or even just Aron Lewis by himself.
Another fine example, in the NickelDoorsFightingCreedLimpDown school: SmashMouth. The monotonous crunchy guitar thing just doesn’t work for me at all, though, so I’ve never explored further than their redundant sounding radio singles.
And another for the “possibly sacreligious” pile: post-1970 James Brown.
Only if, as you do, you forget all the songs which don’t sound like the major hits.
True, and other horrible thing about Smashmouth is that all of their crappy, interchangeable songs seem to become HUGE hits and get used in movie soundtracks.
I don’t know why so many people like U2. It doesn’t make sense to me. Some of their best latest lyrics have been,
Theres a mole
Digging a hole
Into my soul
Excavation
