I agree Buddy is a genius and was one of the first rock artists to write his own songs, along with Chuck Berry...

I am also not going to make any excuses for Elvis not writing his own material, but remember....

NOT EVERYONE can WRITE their own songs!.....period

but for the arranging and the vocals in all his songs, plus the second to none charisma he had on and off stage makes him one of the most powerful voices in popular music, and thus why he's called The King

my vote obviously goes to Elvis

but like ive said before, Buddy deserves so much credit for everything he achieved in his short life, he changed alot - musically speaking, and no one can take that away from him and his legacy,

but in terms of performance and delivery....Elvis forever

I think that Elvis should be winning by a lot more. Buddy could write and play better, but Elvis had the looks, voice, presence, and charisma, and isn't that what rock and roll's about?

I'm kidding of course. Musical ability and charisma go hand in hand. However, when the voice, the influence, charisma, and impact are as great as Elvis', they can easily outweigh Buddy Holly's guitar and songwriting. Not to mention, though it may not be fair to take into account, Elvis's career lasted a lot longer than Holly's, he was able to make more music that adapted to changing times. Therefore, his music was more diverse.

Why do you have to question it. It's obvious - who do you think is better? At everything, duh.

Buddy was an important musician, and did a lot of great things in a very short time, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather listen to Elvis.
My Beatles Trading Post (Updated Regularly)

"George had just come off tour, I'd flown in specially from England, Ringo had flown in specially, too, I think, and John wouldn't show up! He wouldn't come from across the park! George got on the phone, yelled, 'Take those fucking shades off and come over here, you!' John still wouldn't come over. He had a balloon delivered with a sign saying, LISTEN TO THIS BALLOON. It was all quite far out." -Paul McCartney

Right, exactly. It's akin to a good Christian man reading the Gospels. If you love Rock N Roll, Elvis is it.
