There's this thing with Elvis where he's a mythic character. There's a point for a lot of people where the characture of 'the King' has usurped who he was - a handsome swine with a great voice and great tunes. His ghost hangs over so much of music, but unlike a lot of the overlords of 20th-century rock n' roll, there's not really been that many serious imitators of Elvis. Certainly not the early era, that form of rock n' roll died sometime int he mid-60s. I'm not saying that Elvis' music is entirely unique (much of it is very much derivative) but there really isn't anyone who does what he does the way he does. That's a vague statement, but personally I'd take Elvis over the overwhelming majority of early rock n' roll.
