Just because a heavy metal band covers a rock 'n' roll song, it doesn't make 'em a rock 'n' roll band, you know.

what the hell's heavy rock and soft rock? it's called rock and roll.
LZ3 is rock and roll bordering on folk music.
and as for calling motorhead a heavy metal band doing a rock and roll song - it just sounds ridiculous. you can blur lines between the various elements of rock and roll as you want ("rock" "soft rock" "metal" "heavy metal" "insert other variant of rock and roll"), it's all just drums guitars and rock and roll.
If you want to confine the definition SPECIFICALLY to little richard singing SPECIFICALLY about rock and roll, then i suppose he wins the contest by default.
