That would be only fair since the beatles were a collective up against individual acts.

Elvis would win, I think. But, it wouldn't be fair, really. The Beatles were what they were ... not Paul and his band. They performed and wrote and recorded as a group. Elvis could have done the same thing ... he just didn't.

Elvis didn't write anything so how can he win? He also wasn't exactly a virtuoso musician either. He got up and sang. The Beatles created a catalog of hits and played all their own instruments.
Elvis was a performer. Like MJ. Like Roger Daltrey. Like Robert Plant.
The Beatles created. They played. They sang. I have much more respect for an artist who writes his own stuff and actually plays an instrument. Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry at least were songwriters.

The MJ deserves your respect, too. He wrote much of his material. He played a wildly divergent array of instruments (not on stage, but on his recordings).
