In your opinion is Elvis the King of Rock N Roll?

In your opinion is Elvis the King of Rock N Roll? I personally do not think he is. I would pick Chuck Berry over his ass any day! Little Richard is also a good choice but Elvis, no way! :nono
You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only ONE.

No way! Elvis was cool. He could sang, had a good voice, but King of Rock n Roll? I don't think so. Chuck Berry is a great choice and so is Little Richard. nod

Elvis in his prime was a pop GOD... have no doubt.

Have you seen him in talkshows or documentaries? He was fucking cool... (in his prime)

I don't think to high of him, but i do think he should get the title 'cause he brought it 2 the masses, was the first and biggest superstar, had cross over appeal. Others did it probably earlier or better, mayb he was just ripping people off, but he got away with it, so yeah.

possibly. he didn't invent it, but he was one of the figures in rock & roll history that took rock & roll and made it THE musical artform of the 20th century, not just another genre...

Essence

King of the genre for impact and endearing dominance but whether the most talented or most innovative is always left open to debate...
