    Wow, some of these answers are a little surprising.

    Let's define "rocking" - A hard driving rhythm with a heavy beat and loud guitars matched with a hard driving, raw and loud vocal. Only a few by Elvis actually match that and they happen to be some of my favorite songs. I'll stick to 5:

    Hound Dog
    Jailhouse Rock
    Good Rockin' Tonight
    A Big Hunk Of Love
    Ain't That Loving You Baby? (the fast version)

    Amazingly, all 50's songs. He pretty much crooned the rockers of the 60's and 70's with a few exceptions.

    I think JAILHOUSE ROCK 1957 version got them all beat. That song changed the face of music. Before that it was HOUND DOG

    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

    Okay, my list would then include:
    Big Hunk of Love
    Tiger Man
    Baby, Let's Play House
    Long Legged Girl - just so I could include a movie song

    and no, this is NOT Elvis singing, I could not find Elvis' version, but it's pretty rockin' to ME.
