Okay. Let's Settle This Once & For All Times!!!
 
Which one doesn't belong and why?

Just kidding.

Here's the real question, oh ye little marshmallow sugary Easter birds. Which one of the above had the greatest impact on popular music? Vote your conscience and no cheating, if you please.

Poll forthcoming.

Even though I can't stand the Beatles for the most part (they were brilliant song writers though). It's gotta be them.

Where's the Spice Girls option?

Buck 07-07-2009 03:18 PM
One of those bands heavily influenced one of those individuals. Therefore I am going with that band.

The Beatles were just the first boy band.

Thank you for your honesty and conscientious vote, Mr. KC native. You're right. This poll isn't about personal taste. It's about who has had the greater impact on music. Personally, I don't think it's even close, but we'll see.

Elvis always said that The Gaz Brothers were the bestest. Especially when they did that thing with the watermelon and the bass guitar.

http://features.absoluteelsewhere.ne...is_graphic.jpgJohn Lennon: “It was Elvis who really got me buying records. I thought that early stuff of his was great. The Bill Haley era passed me by, in a way. When his records came on the wireless, my mother used to hear them, but they didn’t do anything for me. It was Elvis who got me hooked on beat music. When I heard Heartbreak Hotel, I thought ‘this is it’ and I started to grow sideboards and all that gear...”

MJ in my opinion.

Ebolapox 07-07-2009 03:28 PM
beatles, and it isn't even close.

elvis, though, was brilliant. 'thriller' era mikey jackson was great too.

Beatles are ****ing overrated. I voted MJ although I am not a fan of him but

1- He was a black man who transcended racial barriers and redefined pop.
2- His showmanship is uncomparable.
3- He slept with little babies, acted like a total fool, yet his records are still shattering the charts.
4- His funeral and the public outcry over him prove that his followers are more than anyone else's.

Stewie 07-07-2009 03:29 PM
These are disparate options. Different times, fan-bases (for the most part), and decades from the beginning to the end.

Elvis and MJ were solo, so that makes them different from the Beatles.

Elvis stole all of Gaz's moves and every song he wrote. Gaz was the front man of the Gaz brothers band

Specifically to the question, I gotta say Elvis. Without Elvis you maybe never have the Beatles, or the Beatles never achieve what they achieve.

MJ was the best pure entertainer of the three, IMO, but I don't think of him as influential.
