Elvis vs the Beatles
So I love to post these music based threads, and now Im goin post on Elvis vs the Beatles. My Elvis vs the Stones thread was fun, but now onto new horizons.
My question goes out to primarily older heads, but anybody can weigh in on this debate. So who was better and bigger back in the day the King or Fab Four? I mean all modern music can be related to the Beatles. Theres the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, but its like the 2 degrees of The Beatles. Then again... didn't elvis also create an entire musical movement? Look at the many hits he sang and other songs he made famous that he didn't sing. Plus he's American, if thats your thing..

I'm young, but I'm commenting anyway
 Beatles were definitely bigger, more worldwide, Elvis is the American rock and roll hero. I prefer the music of the beatles, a lot more psychedelic and influenced by LSD, marijuana and the like, Elvis to me sounds like cocaine, alcohol and fatty food  Both were undoubtedly greats, and musical pioneers, no-one could say otherwise!

Beatles no doubt about it. They had a much more profound and lasting impact and IMHO they were much better as well.

Elvis was a entertainer, the Beatles were artists who wrote their own music. Elvis could out rockabilly anyone.

Elvis, I was lucky to have been to 3 of his shows. American legend that moved an entire nation, & he made some great cheesy movies as well. |

The Beatles were basically pretty shit* before Dylan got them stoned, The Beach Boys then inspired them to really raise their game with Pet Sounds. Without those influences the Beatles might have not hit quite the same heights.
* Like a 60's 1D
