"If a song is great on an acoustic guitar, you can make a hundred different versions of that song and it'll still be great," he says. While many producers came up as studio engineers, Rubin says, "I came up as a fan. I'm no expert at the technical aspects" of recordmaking.

...Elvis shimmied, Little Richard wailed, Jerry Lee Lewis smashed the piano stool and played the keys with his feet, and all helped liberate pop culture from the straitjacket of propriety. Rock ?n roll made them move like that. But those three had a guitar or piano to play or play with or hide behind.
