The Beatles by FAR. They wrote the music that defined practically the century. Elvis was a characature. I can listen to the beatles anytime. They have songs that rang accross the spectrum of styles. I'll put Helter-skelter up against any punk song out there. _______________ I know whats been troubling you...... |

A funny little detail: Did you know Elvis and The Beatles were friends? The Beatles loved Elvis' music, and Elvis loved The Beatles' music. The Beatles bought each of Elvis' great Rock 'n Roll hits, while Elvis was influenced by The Beatles' 'easy-going' style (Mersey Beat) duting the early '60 They both rawk! w00t! _______________ The name is Bond.

Elvis brought the world a new, unique style in his time. His career lastet from '56 - '77, during which he was 15 years on the top of the charts. The Beatles (I sadly know less about them than I'd like) took the new pop-music not so much to a higher level, but certainly to a different course. Both have certainly influenced the world of Music an awful lot, and their styles found a place in the hearts of most people. This makes it very hard to say, who was 'better.' Imho, it all comes down to this: Both are truly unique icons of world-music history, legends whos music still is heard this very day. Therefore, who is 'better' is hard to determine, maybe we shouldnt try. ^^ _______________ The name is Bond. James Bond. |

Hmm well, in meaning of how great they were musically, I would have to say Elvis > The Beatles.. This because of Elvis was A guy, and The Beatles was 4.. Anyway, if we drop in Michael Jackson and move from popularity to the art of being a legend, I would have to say that Jackson would just barely beat Elvis and the Beatles wouldn't stand a chance.. afterall, Jackson owns the band.. _______________ [ Honorable mentions: aph3x | Milamber | Bail Hope Belouve | Jaiko D'Kana | Rosered | JediEthic | Mike/JJ/TheKing | Kensei | Dane | Gradius | Thomas Skywalker | Pink Floyd | Setementor | Steinin | Odan-Wei ] [ Owner of: MetaDust's 500th comment! | Eica's 700th comment! | Pink Floyd's 666th, 999th, 1200th and 1337th comment! | DarkRyu's 400th comment! | Redeye's 1st comment! | Cow's 1111st comment! | Rufusan's 75th comment! | Wicek's 3300th and 3400th comment! | Dash Starlight's 2000th comment! | Piccolo's 3400th comment! | Takaru's 300th comment! | Senor Hat's 900th comment! | Rytandus' 4160th comment! | The first ever awarded, the original, the one and only, Catphin Award!!1 ] "Music expresses that which can not be put in to words but can not remain silent." |

Ive heard Elvis is doing ok in the charts this very moment. For sure, we all remember 'A Little less conversation,' which was a Great hit. Also, his album: Elvis: 30 #1's did great. When was the last time the Beatles were at #1? Dont get me wrong though, The Beatles, just like Elvis, made a great tribute to the world of music. Wether one is better than the other, CAN be mesured by succes (who has the most #1's?) but personally i prefer for the subjective view on this. Musical taste is something personal  EDIT: (I forgot my point rofl!) In the end its not a matter of who is better, its about which is ur own personal favourite. _______________ The name is Bond.

Quote: He is hardly THE artist of the 20th century, because that's just what we're discussing here, isn't it... Beatles were a greater band than Elvis, imo... and yet, Elvis is dead, and year after year they're like: OMG OMG OMG, it's been XX years since Elvis died. let's show all his movies in one day on television, let's play all of his songs on the radio (again) and let's make his family some more money ... if you get my point ... I hardly know the Beatles to be honest. What can I say? It's a bunch of hippies with guitars (not intending to step on anyone's toes here.

Personally, I like Elvis best (Elvis fan), though the Beatles rock 2!!!!!! I do feel Elvis has a slight 'edge' over the Beatles, as he IS the Artist of the 20th century. Not to mention he holds the all-time record of most #1's [EDIT:] Elvis: he rox!!!!!!!! _______________ The name is Bond. James Bond.
