Who deserves the title "The King of Rock and Roll"?

I think REO Speedwagon should be blamed on cocaine.

That's the only way any station director would have ever played that trash.

You know Robert Johnson probably did some cocaine in his short time.

In fact, did you know that the original song, "Cocaine" was an old Delta Blues song written by a preacher?

Elvis Presley without doubt.

In my humble opinion it has to be Elvis Presley

I always thought of rock and roll as an anarchy.
