Elvis or Beatles? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

¤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.

I think The Beatles, but not by much.

Mr. Stefani · 12-04-2002, 06:21 PM

Elvis.

The Beatles, I don't know I just prefer their music more.

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!

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

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

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.
