I don't think it's possible to define what is rock n roll and what isn't and have everyone agree. I listened to Rock This Joint by Preston and it still sounds like R&B/jump to me.

Can't help but agree with this in principal. Blues/R&B/jump had the same 
rhythm and chord progressions going way back.

I think it was almost entirely how it was marketed and brought into 
prominence. We might easily agree that what we might recognize as rock 
probably was being played somewhere before there were mikes around to 
record it. And I think also it has to do with when it became acceptable 
to a larger white audience through various means, possible taken on as a 
symbol of independence to an emerging adolescent culture (read, James 
Dean). AND when it supplanted the old dance music (though I remember 
every guy wanted to "slow dance" with is favorite chick even in the 60's 
when I was a lad).
