They've been around for 45 years.

Totally do not understand your question....do you mean who was the first rock & roll band, or who are the oldest people still in a rock and roll band?

Bill Haley and His Comets may have been the first band that managed to whip up a media frenzy using the term "rock and roll."
This is from Wikipedia: "Although Haley's "Shake, Rattle and Roll" never achieved the same level of historical importance as "Rock Around the Clock", it actually predated it as the first major international rock and hop hit..."

there have been debates on what could be considered rock, from what I know Chuck Berry was probably one of the first rock musicians though you wouldn't really call him a band

Chuck Berry
or
Elvis
but rock came from the blues so you should restate your question

it depends on your definition of rock
Elvis?
Beatles?
Buddy holly?
but Rock was just another version of the blues when it started so you would have to go way back there and ask who was the first blues musician

since rock started with african americans, you would have to go back to the 50's with chuck berry and little richard. before everyone else started covering their songs.
