If you want to get technical, the Rolling Stones aren’t rock and roll. They’re rock music. Bill Haley and the Comets were rock and roll; Led Zeppelin wasn’t. Arguments over “it’s not rock and roll” are pretty clearly no longer relevant; some of the first inductees were not rock and roll in the true sense of that term.
