Whos the real King of Rock n Roll?

[generalbulldog]

I don't see how anyone calls Elvis the king of anything. That's like a women's basketball team winning the championship and calling them the rulers of basketball. Elvis was a rip-off of every great black performer who came before him because people thought white people wouldn't accept them. If he was so great he would have recorded songs he actually wrote instead of re-recording other people's. James Brown, Chuck Berry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins were all better.

Of course people who know their rock history would know this. A better analogy would be like Justin Timberlake, people today are so amazed what he did, but it's been done before. Michael Jackson did all that back in the day, same thing with James Brown before him, and on and on.

Would anyone here call Justin Timberlake the king of RnB?
