Maybe so...but I doubt this list gets too long (I think the EEE's Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard one was probably the best of the lot here).

I realize you're a Teuton-o-phile but choosing Kraftwerk over either of those ( even L'l Richard ) might make folks suspicious you are a butt-nazi.
Just sayin'.

Oh I agree, I stole Trans Europe Express from a neighbor when i was a teenager and never looked back, but in terms of rock n' roll... c'mon we're talkin' about Little Richard and The killer.

Besides, I thought it was funny to call him a "Butt-Nazi"

That's a good one. Is it just me or does seem like most of the choices for "best rock songs without guitar" fall into the realm of gospel/soul type stuff (like this tune) or new wave stuff.

I listen to Kraftwerk often and always. I haven't pulled out a JLLewis or LRichard record in, shit... 10 years... maybe 15. I may never again.

"Black Crow Blues" by Bob Dylan, where Dylan accompanies himself on piano.

Incidentally, the Specialty sides Little Richard recorded all had guitar on them (though often barely audible), courtesy of either Edgar Blanchard or Justin Adams.
