Honestly, we could argue about this shit all day. But its just a parlor game. Wanna nitpick about musical tastes? How about @Carnzo weird taste in calliope music?

I'll just add it to your sportsbook cash.

Please don't! It took me the better part of year to give that shit away

I told him flat-out "Dude that is gay!"

Carnzo's reply? "You are damned straight it is!"

LOL had to look it up.
I use my own "compressed gas" though.

Elvis is no different than the assembly line "stars" of today. I'd compare him to Brittany Spears.

Your comment poroves you're an idiot. Elvis is and will always be the king of rock n roll. If it wasn't for Elvis there would have been no Beatles.

 

[Montalban]

Ohh I think Tommy and Quadrophenia are even better. Pete IMO is pretty much a damn musical genius

He is very, very good. I think Who's Next is some of his best work though, "Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Reilly, Behind Blue Eyes etc. I like every song on the album. Was very disappointed, not to mentioned surprised, to find out about him and the child pornography stuff though. I can't look at him the same way anymore.

Musically talented can't argue that. But Michael Jackson is arguably the best entertainer ever and he was pretty much musically inept.

People often misuse the term musician.

Yes, "Band" is another misnomer. My daughter, years ago when she was a teenager, tried to tell me that N'Sync was a better "band" than the Beatles. I told here Bands play music,N'Sync just dances and sings.

Nah, some other no talent hack would have been discovered instead of Elvis.

Now that's one you can argue with no issues.

McCartney should just retire.

He loves what he does and so do many others. No reason to retire. If you don't like it, don't listen. I'm not a huge fan of his recent stuff, but I'll still check it out and see him on tour if I can. He puts on a fantastic concert, just needs to resist the urge to play some of the oddball Wings stuff that is a bit cringy.

 

[shopson67]

He was better when he collaborated with Lennon.

They balanced each other well. Lennon's sardonic wit needed some sweetening for mass consumption.

Dude are you really this dumb? You stated Entertainer and the Beatles cannot touch Elvis when it came to entertainment. Read the other responses and get back with me.

The white jumpsuit Vegas years were entertaining for you? Fat, bloated and drugged? Early Elvis is great, beyond that I lose interest quickly.

I did see him once with one of his post-Wings bands. It was on his 60th birthday and he made some comment about this bringing a whole new meaning to "sixties music". he did a very touching tribute to George Harrison playing some songs on the ukelele that Harrison really liked to do

On a tangent, I always get a kick out of the idea that the Stones were the bad boys and the Beatles the mop-topped pop sensations.

The Beatles were from one of the toughest towns ever, while the Stones were fucking art school grads from silver spoons en sech

The Stones were sloppier and had rougher voices, which gave them that swagger. Richards' rhythm guitar is irreplaceable.

I'm with ya. At least the Beatles went out on top, not hanging on forever like Elvis or the Stones and losing their relevance.

I agree. he has a style where you know its him like Eric Clapton or Billy Gibbons.

This was touching and shows how beloved he still is in England.

 

[shopson67]

Certainly, he was far from the only one

Elvis was the delivery vehicle to bring rock n roll from the originators to the white masses in a (semi) safe package, often through a professional songwriter filter.

Elvis career was mishandled by Colonel Parker.
