What do you think is the one song that defines rock and roll ?

(Not necessarily your favorite, just what you think is the perfect represention)



Like if you met someone from another planet and could play them one song
for them to understand what it is.


... or if you looked up "rock and roll" in a dictionary , what one song belongs in the definition ?


Consider music as well as lyrics

Traditionally, it's always been The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
in rock critics lists. Great song, I agree, one of my faves,
but I just don't think it's the defining song of rock and roll.


Pick one ... and a runner up, too if you want.



I think it's



The Who - My Generation

runner up: Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
