The Beatles vs. Elvis Presley

[Eivind IV]

Wich one do you prefer as the all-time greatest (if you had to choose between those)?

 

[HotDog Fish]

I hope you don't mean in a fight! Well I like the Beatles more (not my favourite but they're good), Elvis is a bit too 'country/rockabilly/blue grass in my tastes, I'm not saying that's bad but I'm not really into that

 

[puglover]

Equally!

Elvis was a better performer. He's Hunk Thread material, and he'd easily win a fistfight against the lot (until The Kinks showed up). Hmm... what if Lennon had written songs for Elvis?

 

[Eivind IV]

Oh yes, you can only IMAGINE what would have happened then?

 

[joespaniel]

Elvis would have kicked hippie Beatle arse.

Edit: I mean in a fight.

I like both music-ly speaking.

 

[Finvola]

I voted for Elvis

 

[Jeratain]

Elvis all the way. (Preferably young Elvis)

 

[cromagnon]

Tough choice, historically/musically speaking. But I voted for the Beatles because of their variety and freshness. They are really the ones who steered pop/rock away from the 'doowop' rock of the 50's.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Beatles, they actually wrote their own stuff.

 

[Furry Spatula]

beatles. I don't like them that much, but i like them more than Elvis. I never got into elvis's music or the beatles for that matter, mind you there is some beatles stuff i like, more songs from them than elvis

 

[nixon]

Well, since it's there, I like them equally!

That's just another creative "don't know" answer...

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Both are good on their own merits.

 

[Pillager]

Personally, I prefer the Beatles.

 

[u-gene]

Don't like Elvis much. The Beatles have always been far more popular in our country. My vote is for the Beatles. Simple, plain but nice.

 

[Darkness]

Beatles, by a landslide.....

 

[Hitro]

Beatles, but not by far.

 

[Mikoyan]

BEATLES!!

 

[gr8ful wes]

Beatles, but they needed the influence of Elvis. Both are great.
