Rollins also asked Marcus which of the 10 songs is his favorite. Although the author calls them all more than perfect in their own way, he did mention one as a sure thing for inclusion in the book. When I came up with the idea for the book, I knew that Shake Some Action by the Flamin Groovies would be the first thing I would write about, he said. It had to be there, and thats because from the first time I heard it, and every time since, Ive just been so shocked by it. Its like, This is it. This is what rock & roll is. This is everything rock & roll wanted to be. This is a performance that isnt jazz, that isnt blues, that isnt country, that isnt pop, that isnt anything but rock & roll. Nothing like what you hear on Shake Some Action was in the world before there was rock & roll.
