View Full Version : Elvis or Beatles?
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 12-04-2002, 04:38 PM If Elvis and all the Beatles were still alive today and still performing.. who do you think would be more popular? They were both from different decades and sang different types of music.. so who do you think would still be really popular?
IMO, Beatles would be just as popular because of how Paul has been going along. But, then again ALL FOUR would still be alive.. so who knows if they would have gotten back together. Also, Elvis would be really popular too. As much as I like Elvis more than the Beatles, I think the Beatles would be a bit more popular.
JethroSimpson 12-04-2002, 06:19 PM I think The Beatles, but not by much.
Mr. Stefani 12-04-2002, 06:21 PM Elvis.
Kristina 12-04-2002, 06:21 PM The Beatles, I don't know I just prefer their music more.
britt britt 12-04-2002, 06:52 PM The Beatles, I love them! I love Elvis too!
Chocoholic 12-04-2002, 07:05 PM I like Elvis much better. I never really cared for the Beatles.

Penny Lane 12-04-2002, 07:57 PM Of course my personal opinion...........The Beatles!
Although there are still a lot of Elvis fans out there from the 50's generation!
But really, Elvis was really hokey!:lol:
SBTB Geek 12-04-2002, 08:11 PM I love Elvis, but the Beatles would have been bigger and better.
Elvis was going downhill before his death.

Yeah, Elvis was going downhill before his death. It's a pity too. I see clips of him during his last few concerts and he just looks like hell. I liked his 70s music best out of the years he did music. The 50s were okay, the 60s were filled with the cheesy movie years, but the 70s still had the good music.
Just wondering, but do we have any other Elvis fans on the board that like his music and like him, but hate his movies? j/w
lalalaceyinthesky 12-04-2002, 11:47 PM I'm going to try to answer this with as little bias as possible, but I believe that the Beatles would be more popular if they came back (assuming John and George never died) because they went away from the music scene at the top, unlike Elvis (also assuming he never died) who left on his way to the bottom.

Yeah, I love Elvis! Not as much as Beach Boys-- LOL. But yeah, I remember back in August they aired his movie. Ugh, kinda sucked IMO. His music rocks, but I dont think Ill be watching another one of his movies anytime soon. I also know Crimson&Clover is a HUGE Elvis fan.
fr00ti 12-05-2002, 01:31 AM Beatles! I love the Beatles! :rock: I do love one song by Elvis alot tho... I dont know what its called.

Yeah, if you've seen one E movie it's pretty much like seeing them all. Same thing happens in just about every one of them. The only difference is you have different chicks in the movies. His last true movie was pretty good though. It had a different formula than the other movies. It's called Change of Habit, I think. It's got Mary Tyler Moore in it too. It was decent, but if you compare them to all the other movies- it was the best.
I think the Beatles would be more popular. For one thing I think the Beatles would have had a bigger range of music, because they have 4 people, 4 different tastes, and musical ideas that would lead to one great collaboration.

Yeah, I got all excited, and was like... THIS is it? I mean, it wasnt that bad. But, then again, it wasnt that good either! LOl. Although I must say I liked it better than that Elvis Lives Special.
MaRtInA_GuRL Beatles! I love the Beatles! I do love one song by Elvis alot tho... I dont know what its called.
How does it go?
school sux 12-05-2002, 06:02 AM The Beatles would be more popular. Just compair the last two compilations:
The Bealtes 1, I believe, was the number one album for several weeks on the US billboard album charts as well as most all global charts.
Elvis 1 was #1 in practically every country but the US. It seems Elvis is more popular overseas than he is in the states!
Pitooey 12-05-2002, 10:00 AM The Beatles!!! Even though I love Elvis too......... I choose The Fab Four. :frosty: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :frosty:
*ShortCake* 12-05-2002, 12:16 PM I cant help it.. I choose The Beatles!!!
blackbeard 12-11-2002, 06:59 PM THE KING
Brian Damage 12-11-2002, 07:18 PM Can't Buy Me Love
Hard Day's Night
Eight Days a Week
All you need is Love
etc,etc..
The Beatles
*ShortCake* 12-11-2002, 11:00 PM cant forget BlackBird :) I LOVE that song!!
YESTERDAY is an awesome song too.. it tends to make me cry a little bit though!
The Beatles: Singers/songwriters, talented musicians
Elvis: Manufactured, used his guitar as a prop, ect.
Elvis was a good singer, but the beatles had true musical talent! Therefore, the fab four would still be top!
ABlairican Pie 12-12-2002, 10:56 PM THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, of course, the Beatles were influenced by Elvis big time, but
Elvis had a funny way of showing his loyalty to bands he inspired:
he told President Nixon that the Beatles were influencing people to take drugs and their activities should be monitored...all the while, he had a bad drug problem himself.

I dont know LOL. But Dwight Yokam re-did it.
sweetsuga 12-15-2002, 11:25 AM Both of them changed the way we look at music today but.... I choose Elvis!;)
Tuesday Weld 02-03-2003, 01:02 AM Because I love Elvis,I would hope he would be more popular.The Beatles,well,I just could never get into them :/

Dwight Yoakam covered Suspicious Minds. And very well I might add!;) He also did Little Sister:)
°Bubbly Blonde° 02-04-2003, 08:31 PM uhhhhhmmmm.... Beatles.....
*Melissa* 02-05-2003, 09:54 PM Beatles all the way.
laceyinthesky 02-05-2003, 10:07 PM I previously responded to this with another name I made, but my choice should be obvious.. the Beatles, of course!
Fleet 02-07-2003, 12:00 AM Elvis. Especially '50s Elvis. True, unrefined Rock 'n' Roll (The Beatles & other mid-'60s bands did "Rock" not really true "Rock 'n' Roll.")
