I'll have to browse it and see what's out there on the subject but if you could only pick one to resurge in the year 2317 to rep 20th century rock, what would it be?
I don't know... Dylan? Beatles? Elvis? Stones? Yeah, stupid question, begging for stupid answers...
Heck with it, I'll go with Sting's Telegraph Road since the lyrics embody the history of that era pretty well.
A fortunate son was someone that came from money that used their families influence to stay in college to avoid the draft and survive the Vietnam war....please ! My number never came up...
The popularity of a product through social interactions within a group does not attest to its quality. Monkey see, monkey do cause all his friends are doing the same thing.....Budweiser, Marlboro, Levi's does not attest to a superior product. Just like all those little girls in the sixties buying Beatles records and buying Tiger Beat magazines because all their friends did, did not make the Beatles a better group than Credence Clear Water Revival. But the Beatles out sold the better group....making CCR the second most popular group in the sixties.
Do you remember what agonizing reappraisals were ? Realizing why people did things just to be accepted without realizing the impact of their deeds ???
A little research would have told you that these aren't teen favorites.You only know what you know and have been exposed to. Sadly "Best Of" or "Greatest" lists of anything only brings out the ignorance of most people.
Back before I moved and was still doing my radio show on a regular basis ... Ella Fitzgerald ... Dinah Washington ... Jo Stafford ... Howlin' Wolf ... Otis Rush ...
Staying on track with the theme...
I vote for LED ZEPPELIN - Rock & Roll
You got to be kidding... All I did was to point out your personal opinions, big deal. How would I know your family background? So, you were an environmentalist (tree huger.) considering the times that bunch was in the minority. This train had been righted... Shall we move on professor.

I get the impression that many around here think Rock and Roll started in England, and in the mid-late 1960s.
OK, first of all we know it is completely subjective, so define "Rock", good luck.
There is no single right answer but my vote goes to You Really Got Me. Can you imagine this blasting out of your car radio in 1964?
"Satisfaction" was a monster. Even my dad liked it.I remember.
The British Invasion songs that affected me most were both by the Stones--The Last Time and Satisfaction. Satisfaction was a monster hit, it seemed everyone went nuts over that song.
