Elvis & The Beatles :D

What the fuck????


Elvis is an outstanding singer!!!

None of those fuckers could sing half as good as elvis!!!

O-M-G...I like love Elvis! LIKE OMG..OMG OMG OMG....I like the Beatles too...!! WOOT WOOT!

Call Elvis what you will. He is certainly the most successful cover artist of all time I'd say, very derivative in his musical style. But *what* a singer... you really are cheating yourself out of a good listen if you give up on Elvis simply because he couldn't write songs as well as you guys.

But here's something I can definitely agree on - LITTLE RICHARD! My God, what a voice, what a piano player. The man was dynamite, and for so many years too.

And as for the Beatles... you can instantly filter out intelligent people by asking them if the Beatles are overrated. Anyone who says yes just screams 'Dope'. They aren't taking into account the whole catalogue, there are at least 5 songs in there that *cannot* be dismissed, for technical reasons or for personal preference.

The Beatles are legends. And I will never understand anyone who thinks they are overrated.

That's the craziest thing. They broke new ground that still in some ways isn't equalled. I consider "A Day In The Life" to be the one song I'd choose from the 60's to listen to.

And I mean, it wasn't just "The Beatles" themselves, George Martin - what an innovator. That bunch just.... leaves me gobsmacked. I'm not saying Love Me Do is an equal of the sum of human knowledge, but there are some songs in the Beatles catalogue that *cannot* be discounted by any thinking individual who knows a damn about music!

the beatles will never be overrated. elvis is. it is true, and i agree, that the beatles are the kings. Queen is their heir. :)

Like She's a Woman or What Goes On - perhaps the 2 best songs ever!

I jest, I jest.

Let me just say this...

If Elvis was black, there's no way he would have given the media the title of "King of Rock N' Roll".
Elvis basically stole what black artists have been working for decades, by then having RCA sell it under a white package.

If we were to write a bible today, it would be about Paul McCartney

AMEN Mr. Jingles!!!

Preach on!!!! ((Stomping my feet under computer desk)) but I will admit that I do like some Elvis songs, although I am black, but the music industry was a trip back in the 50's, Pat Boone is another name that comes to mind also, that payola, and Alan Freed drama...it was crazy, they didnt want anyone listen to that 'colored music' it was corrupting the youth...lol

If those same people heard what kind of music is on the radio today, they'd do flips and pop willies in their graves...lol

When thee was 64 he divorced thou peasant wife, the one legged one...lol

Thou shalt be the best of the Holy Four and thou wilst ascend to Godliness..

Hee-hee.
