Is Elvis Presley worth getting into /mu/?

>>74978638
Not really.

>>74978638
I only like his first album.

>>74978700
Why? He's one of the most well-known musicians of the past 100 years.

Uh Honh honh

>>74978719
Because he's kind of shit.

>>74978719
he doesnt really write music, and he cant really perform well, and he's a hilariously overrated vocalist

nah listen to actual gospel / early rock / blues instead of elvis

>>74978760
he's clearly fucking up

>>74978638
He's dead you sick fuck

Oh hey I completely forgot to add him to my music collection, thanks for reminding me, OP

He is the white corporations trying to put a white face on a black subculture and it worked.

Get into fats domino instead.

He is kind of like the 1950's equivalent to cheezy pop rap.

>>74978789
It's still pretty impressive imo

Hey guys is London Grammar worth getting into? I see they've just released their brand new album, abailable from all good music stores for £9.99

>>74978842
Not him but you're retarded and someone needs to tell you.

>>74978638
he died taking a shit so no

Anything before he was drafted? Yes.
Anything after he was drafted? No.

>>74978897
>Anything before he was drafted?
Still no to be desu

He is literally just the white face corporate America put on a black dominated genre to get more white people into it.

>>74978856

You made a thread on /mu/ with 22 posts and no one has told you to kill yourself yet. You're doing much better than most.

Pic related is all you really need.

You can also check out the Sun Sessions if you want more of the "raw" early sound.

>>74978834
You're one of those people, huh. I just want to prematurely apologize if I've offended you or any other oppressed minority.

>>74980208
Elvis is mediocre no way about it why settle for mediocre?

Elvis is cool, but his image was better than his music. and Buddy Holly is unironically the best musician of the 1950s.

>>74978638
no

>>74978638
Yeah, it's pretty easy too due to extensive writing about him.

The mark of the pleb.

30 #1 Hits [RCA, 2002]

By my unofficial All Music Guide tally, this makes 385 Elvis comps, some as collectible as his soundtracks themselves, not one definitive. Although pursuing his pure essence is a fool's mission, only fools gainsay The Sun Sessions. A Valentine Gift for You is something to cherish. And there's use value in the five-CD The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters, which duplicates 13 of these selections. But this chart-seeking slice-and-dice feeds off his schlock power. It validates his audience. And it suggests that his life was a continuous whole, not the tragically bifurcated mess of current convention. What holds it together? Think lightness, even on the supposedly feral "One Night." A+

Why is it that when people are into elvis they like collect stupid elvis themed stuff?
>>74978797
Underrated

Do you like 3 chord rock n' roll? I mean it sounds nice but it's 2017.

Listen to early stuff with the Elvis/Scotty Moore/Bill Black lineup. Also, anyone posting about the current year or "hurrdur music is stolen from blacks; aren't I very interesting" should neck themselves

This. Listen to the Sun Sessions OP. It's fun rockabilly and you can hear what a strong combo they were and how good a vocalist he was when young and hungry
