who just loves elvis presley??? ray:

not really

He's ok, but to me he's very overrated. There will only ever be one king of rock and roll, and it aint Elvis.

i thought he sung pop??

Elvis was great...i think he's underrated actually. i think for the era he's overshadowed by other musical groups/artists

no, no, he's the king. more #1 hits than anyone else, first to really popularize a combination of black and white music, paving the way for popular black artists and for bands like Led Zeppelin, etc. Everyone at the time knew that Elvis was The King, and the other bands/artists were just scraping around to get some crumbs that fell from his royal personage.

Chuck Berry will always be the King to me.

Elvis started rock... No, he wasn't a very talented musician, but he was the first white person to bring blues to mainstream, white America. Without Elvis, we probably would never have had Chuck Berry.

There are certainly better rock musicians, but Elvis started it.

Well no, there were plenty of rock musicians around before Elvis, he was just the first white person to do it. And Chuck Berry would definitely have been around, Elvis or no Elvis.

Well... I should have said that Elvis brought rock to the mainstream, you're right about that.

Elvis was Rock and Roll wasent he???

^From what I've heard (and that's alot because of my mother ) he wasn't completely Rock'n'Roll like many class him as - imo his music was Rock'n'Roll, Pop (not necessarily popular music at the time but pop as in the genre of 'pop') Blues and Gospel.

I still can't make my mind up about this guy. I don't know whether to love him or hate him. One of the guys I work beside is the most hardcore punk fan I know and he says "You have to love Elvis because he's at the very heart of all rock music". Any thoughts?

Eh, I dont really listen to him.

he's classic but he's dead

HE IS THE KING AND WILL NEVER DIE

HE WILL RULE THIS EARTH HA HA HA AH A

thats right

ELLLLLLLLLLVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS

I'll 2nd that!!

When it came to popping pills, eating rubbish, wearing a nappy and having sex with underage girls then there was probably no-one better.

i do belive elvis was the best even though i'm not a fan

i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him
i hate him i hate him i hate him
elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap elvis was crap

i bet you anything if we lived back when elvis was big as shit , we'd all love him .

whats the point having a thread on him. no one likes him.

he took what the likes of bill haley and the comets and little richard were doing and made it the acceptable white face in a nation and planet still bogged down in the myers of xenophobic sentiment

in other words...he was a white guy playing black music...and thats what made him famous...not originality

^ Yes.

Many, many people say he is the King of rock 'n roll, but you'll find that about 99% of those people are white. And wrong. He was a legend and he was a great performer, but the king of rock 'n roll is quite clearly Chuck Berry.

I don't really like Elvis. It's just too corny.

Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me, sucka was straight up racist, simple and plain...

Sorry, I had to say that. In any case, I agree with Deathblow about this. All he did was sing blues, and not unduly well at that. I don't mind listening to him, but he's way blown out of proportion. Not only that, but the guitar was basically a stage prop to him.

The word overrated was invented for this guy. I cant see what the big deal is about him.
Revan, you never have to apologise for quoting Chuck D man.

Funny thing for you to say something like that, seeing as how you have started a huge list of threads on such crappy bands as Nickelback, Three Days Grace, etc.

Word. Elvis thread > Nickelback thread anyday.

elvis > simple plan , 3 days blah , nicklebag, good charlte

I dont like Elvis, but he beats the shit out of Three Days Grace

i was raised on elvis.so heck yeah i like him.even if you dont like him.he deserves respect.

As Afro said, he's a little too corny for me.

I posted the Exact same thing....

wtf.he grew up in a neighborhood and went to a "black" church.so...he must have a been a good faker.

Fact of Fiction True or False was he really the king.

He was and is called the King. So, yeah, he is "The King".

Yes, The KING. But shouldn't this be in the Music forum?

He was no king in the old fashioned sense. He was called "The King", because his music was very popular.

You could say that. Or you could say that for his fans he was/is the King of his particular genre of music. It is a nickname he got, which does not actually have anything to do with secular power.

Nusrat, he's my Elvis.

Don't care much for Elvis himself.

I love "Burning Love"!! that alone makes him the King!!

Great voice, fair musician (at best), one of the single best "entertainers" that has ever lived, one the most important persons to ever happen to rock/pop.

If it wasn't for Elvis Presley we wouldn't have the Elvis Smiley. http://img242.echo.cx/img242/9089/elvis0in.gif

OVERRATED

Elvis was good, had lots of charisma and a great voice.

But at the same time, he is way overrated. At the end of his live, nobody took him serious anymore.
