    Its not a case of all thinking the same,its a case of this guy being so overrated decades after his death.

    So he is supposed to be the King of RocknRoll. Bill Hailey and The Comets came out with a song called Rock Around the Clock which was miles ahead of its time and this was well before Elvis.

    If i had a son who looked up to this moron ,i would disown him.

    sooooo overrated,
    Westside.
    I'm sure if Elvis was here today he'd tell u You Don't Have To Say U Love Me

    I'm all shuck up since Christmas eve when you offered to share your knicker collection with me but then wouldn't answer the door. I gave it a couple of hard knocks but no sign of you. Maybe you were gone to meet a friend for a happy ending so now I've checked into heartbreak hotel. The door man knows you but says your banned from going up to the roof..........................

    sooooo overrated,
    Westside.
    Guns and Roses were a noisy bunch of hoares that gave me one unmerciful headache. That was rather harsh abut the fool bit, he was just overpowered by all the success and was a victim of it too.
    Apparently, according to Priscilla on Saturday night, he wasn't a bit materialistic, basically a very humble type (I use the word humble instead of simple, because you would pounce on it) who was very generous and charitable.
    Bill Haley was somebody I couldn't take to, way before my time thank God.
    I have a 24 year old son who is versatile enough to listen and not leap and not condemn, he actually likes Elvis's music, but prefers Guns n' Roses.
    But you are right Westie, (seeing as you were the first vote I got). I'm not sure whether I like Freddie (his music) more than Elvis.

    Here's a url where the first line of the song sums you up.

    nobody.Seriously,if i got a goofy haircut and wore a huggies suit and shook my daddy bags and basically just sang any ole way at all,i too would be remembered in decades from now as the King.He was in the right place at the right time.I pit it to you this way,take the eighties.If Elvis came along in the Eighties,he would have being laughed off the stage.

    Freddie was wayyyyy better,
    Westside.

    The way it was when I was growing up, Cliff Richards was the main man then, but he was pipped by Elvis. I was besotted by his music and I'd open the frontroom windows and blast all the neighbours out of it on my Dansette record player. Right place at the right time, me bollocks, he just had it all and your too stubborn to admit it.
