ELVIS VS THE BEATLES
If Elvis and the Beatles had a 'sing-off' as I like to call it, who would win? I say Elvis because he had the voice and the moves to wipe out all four of the Beatles.
shareYou can't really compare the two because Elvis, is one man, whereas the Beatles are 4. One person can't do all the stuff a group can do like play all the instruments. Both are great. Both are legends. Both will live on Forever. If there were to be a stand off, Id say Elvis vs Buddy Holly. again, both are great. I couldn't choose between them.

As a singer I might give Elvis the edge, even though McCartney is very good.
But as songwriters and musicians The Beatles win hands down.
From all asepcts The Beatles were far better.
shareAre you for real?? I think you need to have your ears checked.
The Beatles were great, yes. But they can not touch Elvis. John Lennon was by far the best Beatle, he sounded better and he wrote better than McCrapney too.
But as far as Elvis goes, NO ONE touches him. Especially not the Beatles...
McCrapney? Are you twelve? You only make yourself sound like an immature crazed fan.
Whoever pointed out the influence that they had on each other is, in my opinion, closest. Personally I prefer the Beatles, but that doesn't mean that they were better...this is an Elvis board, so of course more people are going to side with him. The fact is that they were both great at the times of their popularity. Elvis had to come first, to bring rock music to where the Beatles could pick it up. Both are acknowledged as rock n' roll greats.
Also, someone pointed out that Elvis's career spanned 22 years. Very impressive, but the volume of music that the Beatles released in their 10 years was downright amazing and left enough to leave a permanent crater that marked where they've been in musical history.
The Beatles were great. But only thanks to John Lennon. Paul was and still is, an ignorant human being, Lennon himself said that, as close as they were, Lennon was forever saying that he didn't like the way Paul was. While Lennon had time for his fans, and for anybody that he came in contact with, Paul would always FAKE his way through it, pretending he cared, but behind the scenes he would cuss the fans out.
THAT in my opinion is not a true artist. He may have some talent, but its not always the talent that makes a star. It is the humanity and persona and kindness. THAT is a star. And Lennon and Presley had the true gifts of being a star.
Both acts were truly amazing. What's more amazing, as someone pointed out earlier, is that the Beatles accomplished what they did in less than ten years, and Elvis took over 20 to accomplish what he did. I personally prefer Elvis, but the Beatles were good too.
ELVIS PRESLEY would knock out all the beatles within 10 seconds.
THE BEATLES are losers who said they were bigger than jesus
Elvis lasted 22 years and if i wasnt for his death he would have continued his career
Elvis still lives today in out hearts
