Lennon beats Elvis

Lennon over Elvis is a goddamn joke.

No offense.

Especially marrying that leeching cunt named Yoko. I'd put him behind Frank Sinatra for that one.

Here's my top 3:

1. Fat Elvis
2. Frank Sinatra
3. Young Elvis

This debate has been going on for decades. Even Billy Idol once wrote on the subject - from the second Generation X album, Valley of the Dolls

Jailhouse Rocker roots
training down in Memphis
Liverpool Johnny rocks out
round Paul's place
Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
King faces King in the ring for the crown

King rocker,
king rocker
rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong

Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
Quarry St. kids in leather take Hamburg
Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
Go Johnny go use your electric
crazy man crazy

King rocker,
king rocker
rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong

King rocker,
king rocker
rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong

Round three
Ali buzzin' like a bee,
Elvis in the corner and you won't catch me
Round four now
Johnny's lookin' poor,
gotta find a hit
gotta even up the score
Round five some jive,
Elvis took a dive
waitin' for the towel
more dead than alive
Round six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven

Ref stops the fight
with the men on forty two
For a rematch in heaven
If they ever come through
[Gotta] see this fight right thru 'til the last round
Follow the man
Whose puttin' out the boss sound Of

king rocker,
king rocker
rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King rocker,
king rocker
rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong

My guess is that

A. It was done in the UK
B. The people who enjoy Lennon more are a bit younger, more coherent and likely to respond to this poll.

Perhaps 10 or 20 years ago, the reaction would be different. 30 years ago, Chuck would have walked away with it.

No way in bloody hell that little fucking hippie was bigger than ELVIS. No way.

This ain't Elvis vs. The Beatles, this is Elvis vs. 1/4 of the Beatles.

AMEN!

Interesting topic. A friend of mine who is a big fan of both thought Lennon was better based on his lyrical ability alone.

Personally, I always thought Lenin's politics were a turn off.

Yeah, I'd vote for Vladimir before I would pansy-ass, bedwetter Yokoman.
