Elvis more, he had a better voice and was just more talented than the Beatles. King_Creole_35Elvis could not play any instruments very well and he was hardly great at singing. His music was mostly just hollow as well.
Elvis Presley and the Beatles are the two most influential rock artists who ever walked the earth, and they both changed the world with their music. But which one do you like more and why? Obviously, I like Elvis more, he had a better voice and was just more talented than the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, the Beatles were a great band, too, but Elvis is just better. King_Creole_35Absolutely not.

Elvis did, he recorded gospel, country, rock, R&B, etc. But I guess we all have our opinions. By the way, John Lennon himself even said without Elvis there never would have been any Beatles. :D

to expand the limits of what is acceptable within the label of a certain genre, music must be widely influential, due to popularity, meaning a general consensus of quality, and speaking musically, what is talent beyond the ability to create music that sounds good, and quality being subjective, it could be said that it takes a more talented band to expand the limitations of a genre.[QUOTE="uncledeath2005"]The Beatles...but after 1967 they were nothing special..zepman71
Ummmm............can anyone say Abbey Road?
Can anyone say overrated...?

It's no contest The Beatles. Greatest band of all time.xXtheabombXx
Nah...there is no greatest and The Beatles get way too much credit.

Even if it were true that the Beatles wouldn't have existed without Elvis, then it doesn't make Elvis more talented. Just about all new music is somehow influenced by older music, but with that logic older music would ALWAYS be better then newer music. The Beatles were more innovative, and if you really want to get down to it, George Harrison and John Lennon were still better guitar players then Elvis...

My goodness....thats almost like blasphemy to me....
I can't deny it is a good album... "Here Comes The Sun" is a fantastic song...also the albumcontains some of Ringo's best work....but that alongside The White Album and the so so Let It Beare really overrated....Revolver, Help!and Rubber Soul are much better imo

Exactly what I used to think.....but then i got hooked on 'em....
I'm familiar with The Beatles....I like them well enough...but they were not the savior of music. If you listen to the music preceeding The Beatles...it's not that big of a jump to their music.

God, I can't stand the Let It Be song for some reason. I also liked The White Album though, although its more like 2 Lennon and McCartney solo albums put together
