"There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king." is what Bruce Springsteen told about Elvis

 

How do you make that comparison? It's subjective at best.

 

Oh. Is Springsteen the final authority on music? I wasn't aware of that.

 

and bruce springsteen is allways right ? don't think so

 

The change Elvis' music made was bigger then MJ's music

 

give up scribe cold has pink elvis glasses on

 

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley i didn't write that

 

On January 16, 1971 Elvis was selected as The Outstanding Young Man of the Year a high distinction in America. He received the award for his great contribution to American culture

The Beatles had a far greater influence on the direction of rock music than Elvis did. Elvis was a trailblazer not so much because of his music but because of his personal style. He wasn't the guy who defined rock and roll music, and I'm talking about the genre. Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly and Bill Hailey were among the most influential pioneers of that sound. Elvis just got most of the accolades because women thought he was hot and sexy, which is a very marketable quality, hence his soaring popularity. Until he got fat and sort of pathetic and weird, aka The Vegas Years.

 

i don't know what your trying to prove, but what your saying is just incorrect nobody ever said that elvis had more influence on music then Mj

Arguing with foreigners is always an interesting proposition!

Were you alive in the 1960's and 70's when Elvis was at his peak? Did you hear and experience Michael Jackson's music when it was freshly introduced to the public and see and hear the reaction to it?
