Guest Len B'stard Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 ^^^ Pure hyperbole.It's really not y'know. I mean where else did it start, where else did post war youth culture begin, with Elvis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixes Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Elvis Presley and it's not even close.How in the fuck is this even a question? Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley?More laughable was someone putting MJ in the top 5 all time...I surely hope that was sarcasm because my lord, top 5? He's lucky if he's top 5 in his own fucking familyAnd if someone brings up his dancing again as if that has any bearing on his musical talent..fuck me...I didn't know walking across a stage, stopping to grab your balls, pointing a lot and saying "heee heee" is considered great dancing.

J Dog Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Elvis. He pretty much changed everything. MJ didn't really change a thing, he was just really really good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The whole argument that, if it wasn't him it would have been somebody else, I mean you can use that for anybody. Elvis, MJ, The Beatles, Stones, Muddy, Sabbath, NWA. If it wasn't them it would have been somebody else eventually. I mean they did it, whether somebody else would have done it eventually or not, they still did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 As the saying goes "before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything"I respect Elvis because even when he was fat, bloated, sweaty and in ill health he still gave his shows everything that he had: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXzilla Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of Elvis but the guys voice destroys MJ. I mean when someone will use "MJ can dance" as an argument goes to show how weak this guys career is. *not a fan of MJ, sorry peeps* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) No Elvis, no nothing.Eh. If it wasn't Elvis, it would have been somebody else.Right well in that imaginary world where it was someone else I'd be wrong but back here on planet earth my assertion stands As the saying goes "before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything"I respect Elvis because even when he was fat, bloated, sweaty and in ill health he still gave his shows everything that he had: Pappy that show was in 1970, he was in fine health at that time And i don't think he gave everything he had either...he kept the pies!

PappyTron Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 He has turned the corner by then, though, Len. I couldn't find a later version of the song in my brief search (that is, a search that was brief not a search of briefs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncivil war Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 MJ may seem more "relevant" to the younger generation, But my vote goes to Elvis for so many reasons. His impact on modern music was huge. He brought rock n' roll to the masses.I believe Elvis will remain iconic as every new generation discovers his music. My 6 year old loves him. She even has an Elvis teddy. My main gripe with MJ's music is all those weird noises he made while singing. I don't mind a bit of expression, but he went way overboard on a lot of songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
