greatest band of all time???

lol Lyle, it is almost, well no, not almost, it IS funny to watch you get so personally offended when someone doesn't agree with you on something, and then how you focus on one aspect of the others arguement. I will never think that Elvis is better then the Beatles (and especially not as a band nudge nudge wink).

I will always respect Elvis for what he has done and think him a great performer, but ultimately, yes, he shortened his legacy with his "self-destructive, self-indulgent, sad case" lifestyle.

Try to get things in perspective. In the little I've read about about Elvis it is cited how near the end his performances were really starting to be affected by his lifestyle and his focus on near everything was slipping, badly and sadly.

But the fact remains, Elvis ain't no band, sunshine. Make a thread about who the best rock and roll performer was, and maybe then you will have more weight to your arguement. I might even agree with you. (or I might not, just to watch you get soooo wound up)

I am not personally offended by your views. I am just saying Elvis was better than The Beatles just my take on it.

Elvis is what is known as today as "manufactured pop"

Beatles started from nowhere and made their name the hard way through simply being great and not just having a cheesy gimmick.

...perhaps you're familiar with the song "Walkin on the fightin side of me"


So The Beatles wrote the majority of their songs big fucking deal....it doesn't make Elvis less talented of a singer.

Elvis' "cheesey gimmick" was singing, soul, and charisma

The Beatles and Stones did exactly what Elvis did....copy Black musicians Blues and Jazz and made it their own until they went on to other stuff.

You can't find a band or singer (after Elvis came around) that wasn't influenced by Elvis...

The movie "Backbeat" pretty much documented those very well.
