I think there is a definite list, but Monkey certainly didn't cover enough.

You would never consider them rock n roll? Seriously? That's a little ridiculous

Chuck Berry no matter what anybody says will always be the true king of rock n roll.

But isn't image a pretty big factor in rock sometimes? I don't like the fact that it is, but it is. He wasn't much of an artist but he ha the image, and he rocked the stage with his high energy and dancing. That's what makes him rock n roll. I can agree that chuck berry deserves the title a little more.
This song deserves a lot of credit for pioneering rock guitar
