Are you being deliberately obtuse, Waterwall, or just it just come naturally? Far from backing up your point of view (or pov to you), the dictionary definition actually refutes your point of view - ie "rock is a generic name for a range of styles that evolved OUT OF rock 'n' roll." So Led Zeppelin are a rock band, not a rock 'n' roll band. So, to return to my original point, there's no point nominating them as the greatest rock 'n' roll band. Savvy?
As for Beechy's point about you walking round the circle up the con (an ancient Accy tradition of which you would know nothing), a smart alec like you wouldn't have lasted five minutes, as there were some likely lads who had VERY definite ideas about what constituted rock 'n' roll (and most of 'em were mates of Cashy's!).
Still, no one can tell you anything, you obviously know it all, so just carry on parading your ignorance about the roots of the music you purport to play. You've certainly made yourself a laughing stock on here.
