Elvis is so damn overrated its not funny. 

 

He's remembered for making the teeny bopper girls swoon, lets face it. As a musician, pretty damn average. Didn't write many of his songs, just okay voice, ok so he played a little piano allegedly.... He still belongs nowhere near a list like this.

We should take you serious when you put " great American " bands Rush, Black Sabbath and the Beatles on your list.

Oops didn't read the question is typical of shooting off your yap without reading what someone else is saying or asking. Typical.

Why? Do think Ozzy and AC/ DC are American ?

No. Australian and British. Duh!

Jk. But we like the same stuff. That's why I said it. Typing things on a message board people take things the wrong way a lot.

---

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.

Chryssie Hynde/ Pretenders is an excellent addition to this thread (if they are American)...

 

She is, the rest of the original band was not.

I see it like this - if its going to be a list about great musicians, then you have to list people that were at least great at either or all of writing both lyrically or musically, playing an instrument, singing. Elvis was not great at any of that. He was essentially a novelty act. He danced like no one did before on stage and had a cool look to him, (for the time)....big friggin deal. Thats not an all time musical great in my book, nor should it be in anyones. People list him because they feel they should.

That's probably bad for me.

That's probably bad for me.

 

Just being honest here, you're prolly right..

I think that is how one would sum him up as, " a piece of work".

But if your on #10 of 12 of natty light fishing for catfish underneath the bridge on the fla ga line on the st Mary's river, it's really only cash or Coe blasting from your truck speakers.

You guys are just listing your favorite bands.   I thought the thread was musicians, meaning individuals who played a musical instrument.   Like Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen.   NOT the Jimi Hendrix Experience or Van Halen.   Individual people.

Not to be confrontational, but does it really matter? I'm not sure how the op meant it. But as long as they from 'Murcia, it's all good. Right?

Yeah, it went off the rails in the first post. 

 

TMD wanted to put Wham! on his list, but someone pointed out this is a 'murican list, so he was extremely disappointed.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

She is, the rest of the original band was not.

 

She's American, and she's always looked like someone you'd probably catch an STD from.

Yeah, well, what do guys like Cash, Lennon, and Lewis know about that?  He just sang! 

 

Seriously, he's not my cup of tea, but you can't deny the influence he had on music when he came on the scene.  To deny that is just arguing for the sake of arguing, which NOBODY in this thread could ever be accused of, right?
