Thread Name: BS: Why do people rave about Elvis?
Subject: RE: BS: Why do people rave about Elvis?
His "greatest songs" (not greatest hits, many of which sucked):

Hound Dog
All Shook Up
Can't Help Falling in Love (actually, Arlo proved this is a folk song)
Jailhouse Rock
Don't Be Cruel
Love Me Tender
Blue Suede Shoes (though Carl's was better, IMO, this one is still great)
Return to Sender


I mean, Vive Las Vegas and Blue Hawaii weren't Elvis the rock and roll musician, they were Elvis the teen heart throb goes Hollywood phenomenon. You have to have a discerning eye. Or is that ear?
