Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

[CaptainEurope]

I have an Elvis Hits CD and like him, but I prefer a lot of other versions to his covers. For example, I find Big Mama Thornton’s Hound Dog far superior to the Elvis cover. I like Carl Perkins’ Blue Suede Shoes. There were better Always On My Mind versions before and after. Suspicious Minds. Fever. Etc.

I sometimes hear an Elvis album track that wasn't a hit and like it better than his big hits, but maybe just because they are fresher to me.

This song is itself a Controversial Opinion.

Making both Madame Web and Agatha Harkness young is ageist. If Marvel studios wants to be inclusive they should not have changed their ages.

So it isn't just me that noticed that!

I will say one Elvis song I love and never tire of listening to was His Latest Flame.

[Powerboy]

Not really but I think Chick Berry had more talent and was a better singer.

It seems Elvis would probably have agreed with you. People who knew Elvis said that whenever people said he was the King of Rock and Roll, it would irritate him and he would say Chuck Berry was the King of Rock and Roll.

I guess this would be "controversial" only in the context of what's generally deemed raw vocal talent (or if one happens to be a huge fan of Tiffany's ), but if I had to choose who my favorite was between the two young queens of late eighties bubblegum pop, I would say Debbie Gibson was my girl. Not saying that I did not enjoy many of Tiffany's songs, but as far as I am concerned, Gibson's music had a much bigger replayability factor.

When their pop careers would down Tiffany went into retirement and Debbie went to Broadway. That alone should answer most questions.

For my possibly controversial musical take - Should I Stay Or Should I Go is the weakest of all of The Clash's hits, but it's the one radio loves the most. Play London Calling at least once!

Debbie Gibson and I (though not since 1992) are both from Lon Guyland, so 'nuff said!

It seems Elvis would probably have agreed with you. People who knew Elvis said that whenever people said he was the King of Rock and Roll, it would irritate him an, because d he would say Chuck Berry was the King of Rock and Roll.

But how do you define who gets to own the title on an objective basis?

Elvis started being mentioned as the King as far back as his breakout year of 1956, because he flat-out dominated the charts during the second half of the '50s (Pop, Country*, and R&B - yes, African-Americans were gobbling up his records like the whites were doing, but that has been forgotten over time). He invented rockabilly music. He didn't create rock 'n' roll, but being the Father of Rock is not the same as being the King. So, objectively again, who should be crowned the King? Maybe someone else deserves it more, but it's not an obvious answer to me.

Personally, maybe considering him more the King of the Rock Era (the past seventy years) might be the better way to go here.

* a tie with Johnny Cash
