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. ^^

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.. :P:D
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.. :)

Thanks :P

well, I probably know their songs, I just have the hardest time EVER remembering song names/artists
quite amazing really,
I can sing along any song, complete with lyrics and everything, but damned if I'll remember the name of the song, or the name of the artist :|

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.

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 :D

... 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 :P

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 :D

[EDIT:] Elvis: he rox!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but you listen to the Beatles. :P j/k. Phil Dwyer? He's pretty much THE top name in jazz in Canada right now, besides Oscar Peterson.
