Well, strictly speaking it's not rock and roll, it's based on a Chuck Berry R&B number, and the Stones' 'rockier' stuff is usually rooted in R&B or blues, while I've hardly heard anything from those other tossers, so that's no help.
As an ancillary, can you name any band that 'rocks out' in your definition,who are actually worth listening to?
Any rock band.
I think everyone else knows what I mean...I don't want to get in a long argument of how we define 'rock music'!
