Christmas Tree 4508 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Does he get enough recognition from 30 something's and younger. When you think of the sheer number of hits / music styles etc he really was the King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I appreciate Elvis' music and the legacy that he has created for himself. Can't say I rank him anywhere near my favourite bunch of artists though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13655 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Songs need to be 2 minutes long again. Too right. You hear the chorus twice and that's all you need, son. Jordanaires playing their bollocks off at the back, a fade out and bang, you're done. As Musical President, I say you're not allowed to repeat your chorus more than 3 times in one song from now on/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm no music expert or in much of a position to comment (listening to Buck's Fizz - Land of make believe, while watching the best of Lenny Everett). But I was basically getting at his early rockabilly thru to Gospel and all Inbetween. Quite a shift in styles for those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4508 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Today's musicians could learn a lot from the 80's . Too much effort in over complicating a good tune. Currently listening to "The definitive Eighties" and virtually every one a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13655 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 If anything, musicians could learn from The Jordanaires and be a tight, talented band, not a set of drum machines and shit synths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Latest Flame is a song to get on with your life when your girl has left you. Sure he's crying but is the piano letting up for a second? Is it balls. It's inspiring in the same way a good friend buying you 6 shots of Jack Daniels and a one night stand is. Always on My Mind? That maudlin sack of greeting card poetry? It's the musical equivalent of making mixtapes and sniffing whatever is left of her perfume/underwear in your house. Marie's The Name ends with an outro, a mantra of the title over and over. Elvis is going to do something about it and he's going to do it with his considerable testicles in a wheelbarrow and he's going to fuck her sister. It's untouchable.

Also I totally disagree with you as I probably listen to a lot more music than you as well as a wider variation. Also I'm not knocking the 80s as I have shit loads of 80s music in my collection before you say that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4508 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 It's got nothing to do with being too snobby. It's about having taste. My point exactly. Both of these artistes were massive at the time. Looking back and cherry picking what you think was cool (good taste) is not the same as living through it and appreciating it for what it was at the time. This one time, at woodstock....... for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
