Wise, your "case" only proves one thing and it has become larger now. You're associating who's better by how they dance. That's the problem with today's music, its more how you look rather than how you play. I'd rather be able to close my eyes and still get the majority of the meaning of a song than to have to be watching the performers to get it all. Nothing like very visual music. Because you know music is all about the looks.

Bet y'all only heard the commercial records. Not the really good ones. But nevermind, i like the beatles too, especially their rock 'n' roll album.
But I say only this: You dance like Elvis, chicks come running.
You dance like the Beatles, fags come running...
I rest my case:P

Rock 'n' Roll was "invented" by the American blacks. It basically was formed from the Blues and Jazz of the day. Elvis Presley basically put it on the map. But the Beatles changed Rock & Roll almost by themselves.

I would say that The Beatles did more for rock n roll than Elvis could ever do. I'm not saying he's not influential, but he certainly didn't put in like the beatles did.

Oh the minds of the young. I'm saying that and I'm only 20. Elvis didn't help to invent rock n' roll. Chuck Berry did more than he did as did Buddy Holly. They don't call the day elvis died The Day The Music Died.

Between The Beatles and Elvis, Beatles hands down. You can't ignore what Elvis did for Rock & Roll, but the Beatles definitely did a lot more.

As far as my personal faves:

1)Rush
2)Frank Zappa
3)Phish

But as an outsider I would have Gnags with their song "Vilde kaniner" (wild rabbits - how ironic :D) from the 70's.

F*ck Elvis. Buddy Holly is the true King. You don't see people dressing up like him and doing bad impersonations.

When I say "Elvis" I don't think the King, I think "silly outfit" and that black set hair.

When I say "the Beatles" in contrary I think of great music and the 60's.... and the same hair as me, just a little longer.

What is it precisely you think is so "1337"??

Sorry Jacen and the rest of you, but when you say Beatles everyone thinks of four longhaired dudes. When you say Elvis you think of the King...:P

Well, I thought I should include Elvis for the sake of the americans, but apparently some of them like the Beatles better than one from their own country. Good. :cool:
