Awesome thread ! Lot's of very influential songs posted by you guys :sunny:
I've never met anyone that had even heard of Rocket 88
Awhile back I came across that song and the idea that it was considered the "first" rock and roll song. Finding Ike Turner played with that band intrigued me and I read more. It's fascinating... Ike gave Jimi one of his first breaks.

So recently I saw a comment at Wiki that there are 3 songs considered contenders to be the first. I like that as the comment below says, with something evolutionary like music no one can point to just one genre-changing song.

Here's those other two mentions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqI130TS1vM"]First Rock'n roll song?! Jimmy Preston - Rock the Joint (DOO WOP CORNER SOUND: SHOW 89) - YouTube

Both from 1949. Rocket 88 is 1951.

How about something from 1938? Doesn't sound like those previous 3 songs were all that original.
