Elvis Presley may not be the King of Rock N' Roll, but he certainly is one of the most important figures in American popular music. While he wasn't the best and defiantly not the most consistent, no one can debate the fact that Elvis was the man for making rock n' roll popular. Posted by Andrew on Sunday, 06/9/2013 @ 22:22pm |

GFW: You should totally check out "The Sun Sessions". Posted by Gassman on Friday, 09/20/2013 @ 15:02pm |
Strangely enough, I agree with Gassman for once on music. The Sun Sessions, along with the early RCA years, represent Elvis Presley at the peak of his career and vocal prowess. Hearing Elvis's renditions of Blue Moon of Kentucky and Good Rockin' Tonight, to name just two examples, make one almost forget that Presley descended into some very rotten material in the 1960s. Presley's version of Blue Moon of Kentucky is an outstanding case of how to cover a song in a genre entirely separate from the one it was originally intended for and still retain the core essentials of said tune.

ugh, my old comments on here are cringey. Posted by GFW on Tuesday, 11/12/2013 @ 12:20pm |
While Elvis Presley may not be the King of Rock N' Roll, he is one of the most important figures in the history of American popular music. He may not have been the best, and definitely not the most consistent, yet no one can argue that that he is the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level.

I was just listening to some Elvis songs on one of my Spotify playlists, and looking at this list of Essential Songs... there are so many that haven't made the grade here, but are so unmistakably catchy and still so great to listen to to this day. The one that really caught my attention was "She's Not You." Nobody ever lists it in their top five favorite Elvis songs, including me, nor is it on the list here, but man, it's just so bouncy and catchy, and just so good. Gets lost in the shuffle of the landmark songs, but not one to write off as a throwaway. Posted by Philip on Monday, 05/13/2019 @ 00:44am |
