Elvis Presley’s ‘Jailhouse Rock’, The Kinks’ ‘You Really Got Me’, and The Who’s ‘My Generation’.
I’ll have to go back and give a re-listen.

The Who admitted to being influenced by Dave Davies of the Kinks when they wrote Can't Explain, and that was before My Generation. Dave Davies did a lot of interviews. Many of them are on YouTube. I've never heard him credit Elvis Presley for that.

For the benefit of non-musician readers / listeners, please diagram the first and fifth note making up the power chord in various keys.

Yeah, this is an interesting pop quiz. My fill in the blank answer would be the intro to Zappa's Dancin' Fool, the two-measure guitar chord with drum riff, repeated four times.
"I don't know much about dancin' / That's why I got this song..."
Anyway now I've got an earworm for the day.
