Elvis

OK, it's 25 years since Elvis keeled over. So what? He was at best a moderately talented singer. I have never understood the cult surrounding him. You want a King of Rock? Try Mick Jagger! A career that is approaching 40 years of great music and a life that epitomized rock excess. Elvis was a lounge act when he died.

Elvis? feh.

God, the movies. What were they thinking when they did the movies?

I gotta disagree with Our Humble Host, but The King rocked. I think he had a good voice, and a stage presence you could use to immolate a small country.

Personally, I think Col. Jimmy Hart (no, wait. The other one. The Swede) gets into the top 11 most evil people in the 20th century, after Hitler, Stalin, and Ringo.
