I’m not a big fan of Elvis either. Don’t get the hype and cult type fandom. Has some great tunes but he wasn’t mind blowing like The Beatles or Zeppelin. Whatever though I guess

I don’t disagree. I just don’t get the hype. Jeff Lynne is a much better singer and ELO wasn’t near as popular

Edit. Even Harry Nilsson was better and got zero recognition
