I personally think Elvis is underrated.

I think the whole cult of personality thing that's grown around him with fat impersonators and all those terrible movies eclipsed the fact he made some really awesome tunes.

Who cares if he didn't write them, not many artists did then. And if people hadn't ripped off black artists there wouldn't be any rock music anyway. It's not like he's the only one guilty of it.

When you strip it down to the bare essentials the body of work he did for Sun Records was amazing. And that's all I really care about when I put on an album.
