Not going to sway you in either direction, but you gotta love the Beatles' sense of humour. I mean, for their time, they were the funniest guys around.

Beatles lots of hype and little substance. They did help slightly with a little of their experemental stuff but in general they were the PR circus. Elvis on the other hand was a revolutionary in terms of what he did and the mediums he crossed over with. Just compare the two careers sometime and look at who lasted longer.:alliance:

Personally, while I can see the effect that Elvis had on music in general, I detest his style.

The Beatles aren't one of my favorites, nor will they ever be, but the sheer volume of good quality and VARIED usic that they put out gives them a worthy mention.

Most influential? Today? Clearly the Beatles...how many (successful) Elvis covers have there been in the last 15 years compared to Beatles ones in the charts...even though the charts suck?

You can't really complain about my comparison from the basis that Elvis's stuff isn't pop, because at the time, it was...

Furthermore, I can't think of many recent successes that have heavily credited Elvis...straight off the top of my head I think Oasis, Kula Shaker, Pulp, Blur...not to mention the boy band scum...lol.

And one more thing....rubbernecking sucks and The Walrus pwns j00! :D

EDIT:/

LMAO!!! just noticed the date...Cuzza, you suck!:D

Wise I think you've missed the point. Its not Beatles fans against Elvis fans. Its who you think is the greatest. You listen to a lot of musicians and The Beatles are almost certainly guaranteed to be listed as an influence to them. No one is taking anything away from Elvis. He is a major influence in rock n roll. But the Beatles are a bigger one. You seem to be the only one wanting to put down the Beatles. Everyone else just thinks that the Beatles were bigger than Elvis, not elvis sucked and the beatles rule. I wonder if you could find total album sales between elvis and the beatles and see who has sold more albums to date.

Damn, I AM the only elvis fan here. Frustrating. Can't compete with the hordes of the Fag4 by my own...
Btw elvis sold out more stadiums than the beatles, but I see your point.
And about the dancing; A true artist can PERFORM that is singing AND dancing. So while the beatles may have sung better, Elvis was the bigger artist.
And he may have been a dumb white cracker, the beatles were FOUR dumb white crackers.
