I know polls are like backsides (everyone has one) but this is a interesting call... personally I do rate Lennon above Elvis, but again it's just one person's opinion

Lennon beats Elvis
November 19, 2004
JOHN Lennon has defeated Elvis Presley to be voted the greatest rock 'n' roll icon of all time in a poll conducted by Q music magazine.
Paul McCartney, Lennon's fellow Beatle songwriter, managed just 12th place in the poll.
In a special tribute to Lennon for the magazine, his widow, Yoko Ono said: "He was a driven man: it was as if he knew that he was to stay on Earth for a relatively short time."
Lennon was gunned down by a deranged fan outside his New York apartment in 1980 at the age of 40.
Yoko said: "He changed people's awareness in an incredible way, both with words and music. He was not afraid to tell the truth and thus give us a clearer picture of what was really going on."
