Exclamation Elvis Presley vs. Michael Jackson vs. The Beatles...... DISCUSS!
Personally I'm an Elvis person. He is The King of Rock and Roll, set hundreds of records that are still yet to be beat, influenced both MJ and Beatles, plus hundreds of other artists, and is arguably the most influential music artist of all time. Also in movies and joined the army, just extra plusses.

Why is joining the army an extra plus? Anyway, to answer the question, while Elvis is the "start" of modern music, The Beatles took it to a whole other stage. Don't care much for MJ.

Elvis is dead. Michael is dead. I say the Beatles (atleast the remaining ones) win by default.

I think Elvis inspired more future rockers to pursue their dreams. But Chuck Berry did more to influence the sound of the genre. And the Beatles... well... they're the Beatles.

Welcome to the boards!

Robert Johnson actually influenced and inspired more great musicians of rock & roll than all of the above mentioned.
