I'm so sick of this thread
It's really hard to take the opinions of teens, 20 somethings and even to a lesser extent 30-somethings seriously when the term is more a result of the cultural phenomenon Elvis, which they never witnessed or experienced, then the musical pioneer Elvis which history has, perhaps rightly, not been kind to.
Elvis is "The King of Rock & Roll" for the same reasons Wayne Gretzky is "The Great One" and Babe Ruth is "The Great Bambino". People of the era decided to gloss them that and their collective voice was loud enough to make it stick.
It's a fucking Nickname; and just as you can't give yourself a nickname, you can't decide to change someone elses', he's not a real King.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
