Michael Jackson is the king of pop. Let him annex rock and unify the kingdoms.

Kerry King.

I saw Elvis in the grocery store last night......he needs to lose some weight.

Who should be king? Hmm... not sure but I think Ike Turner should get some credit as the father of rock 'n roll or something for writing "Rocket 88".

But then again, Elvis died in '77.

...and was white.

That's not a fair statement. Hendrix was even more popular during his time (I think), so it probably came as a shock to alot of people when he died. Plus....when Obama gets shot, you'll hear ALOT about him....and Obama and Hendrix are black. Let the bitchfest begin!

This is the right answer. The only reason Chuck Berry is not the King of Rock and Roll is because of his skin colour.

Chuck berry is the real King of Rock and Roll.
