Elvis vs Beatles

The Beatles are the greatest popular group of all-time. Arguably the most successful entertainers of the 20th century, they contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity and liberation that outperformed the rusty Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking walls in the minds of millions, thus making impact on human history.

For those who say that Elvis influenced the Beatles, that's not entirely correct. Elvis revolutionized Rock and Roll but his style was rockabilly. Rock with a country twang. Plus Elvis got his style of music from spirituals and rhythm and blues not to mention he didn't write all of his music himself. He pilfered music from other blues artists most noteably Howlin Wolf. Gotta give it to the Fab Four!

This is what I meant when I said Elvis changed our culture.

Serious inquiry: can someone embed a youtube video of an Elvis song that you find to be a great song that holds up even today? None of the super-famous hits, please.

To even compare Michael Jackson to Elvis and the Beatles is vile and repulsive. Its like comparing Steve McNair to Joe Montana.

MJ was talented. He was really big in the 80's. He never dominated the industry like Elvis in the 50's and the Beatles later.
You can't even compare MJs catalog to Paul McCartney by himself.

Dude, Elvis had 38 songs that made Billboard Top 10, according to this.

It's kind of hard to omit the hits when there's that many of them.

Also, define "holds up", please.
