As requested, here’s your SellersAskSellers chance to weigh in on the greatest debate of the 20th century!
1. Are you a fan of Elvis? Favorite song(s)?
2. Are you a fan of the Beatles? Favorite song(s)?
3. You can only pick one: Elvis or Beatles
I’ll go first:
Yes!
Thank you, thank you very much.
If you wanted to really fire up the crowd you could do an Elvis versus The Beatles and see all the young pups wondering who they are… 
Yes! Jailhouse Rock; Blue Suede Shoes; Can’t Help Falling In Love; Return To Sender; Hound Dog; Suspicious Minds; Burning Love; My Way and on and on…
Yes! I Want To Hold Your Hand; Let It Be; When I’m Sixty Four; Hello, Goodbye; Imagine; Eight Days a Week; Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band; Hey, Jude and on and on…
As it is a virtual tie, @ least to my way of thinking, I’m going to have to send the prize elsewhere.
Will the Yardbirds do? 
Yes
The Doors, Guess Who and Led Zeppelin (favorite)
Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Heartbreak Hotel
Between Yoko Ono and Ravi Shankar, The Beatles have a lot to answer for.
YES! That bass, y’all 
I needed a fix and am sharing.
Which version? Clapton, Beck, Page, or the other guy whose name I can never remember?
As for Elvis vs. Beatles, I have to go with Beatles. I like some of Elvis’ early stuff, not so much the later; whereas the Beatles started out good and just got better (for the most part).
The Beatles? Meh … lol.
ELVIS RULES!
Side note 1: I’ve almost recovered from fireworks season
Side note 2: Almost … LOL
Glad to have you back! 
There’s nothing better than this and it happened before I was born (1 year)…
ETA - Just got the chills listening to this for the first time in a year or 2…
I will admit; Elvis had better movies. 
I dated a girl whose name is Kitten Kahane (very briefly) when at UCLA.
Anyway her dad was a comedian who opened for Elvis for 5+ years.
I did not know any of this at the time. Only years later did I learn that at a concert in 1976 he sang Happy Birthday to her from the stage.
Imagine having Elvis sing Happy Birthday to you.
Wow!!!
The only song I like and ever listen to from either of
these performers is “The Long And Winding Road” by the Beatles.
That song is cool and actually demonstrated some thought and talent.
All of the rest of it like “In The Ghetto” or “I Am The Walrus” are just
mediocre results of drugs and peanut butter and banana sandwiches
They never make my play list.
I’m far too young (44) to have really been around for either (well, I suppose I was around for jumpsuit Elvis…which wasn’t pretty)…but I can imagine they both must have been larger than life in their day at their primes…
EDIT: Wow, didn’t realize Elvis died before I was even born. I thought he passed in the 80s. Either way, jump suit Elvis was not good. He did have some good movies, though…pretty amazing how many people did film back then who were from other genres or walks of life. I watched the movie R eagan (why does this site censor his name if I type it without a space) tonight and he also was obviously in Hollywood pre-politics.

What an unfair survey.
Elvis needs to be considered as either the young Elvis or the Old Fat Elvis.
Yay for the Young Elvis.
The Beatles need to be considered based on which album and which period of work.
The early Beatles songs which made their fame were not very innovative. The later Beatles albums were much more creative but to my memory had fewer “hits” per album.
True enough!
I was never a Beatles fan but I had a pair of brothers as friends that went all in on them – skinny jeans, boots, haircuts and so on.
Elvis became a LARGE shadow of himself. The only song that I thought was decent from his later years was In the Ghetto from 1969. Almost 56 years later and it still resonates – and everything in it still takes place daily.
By my earworm standard. Songs that appear without warning in my head. This Rolling Stones songs rates higher than any Elvis or Beatles.

Now you know exactly how insane I am.
I’m all for it!
