Quote:A. redundant. I essentially said the same thing. 

 

B. Oh please. Elvis contributed nothing to that except for singing like a tuna and gyrating on stage. He wrote little of his stuff, and overall wasn't really all that talented at all. I wouldn't doubt if the piano he supposedly played on stage was an automatic, lol... Milli Vanilli before Milli Vanilli

I guess its what you consider to be influential.  At the end of the day, when people like Johnny Cash, John Lennon, and Jerry Lee Lewis (amongst others) say he was the birth of it all, that holds a little bit of weight in my book.  But then again, music is all about the individual.  There are people who like a lot of stuff I don't like.
