The Elevator Killer 521 Posted February 14 8 minutes ago, Tebok said: When I was like 7 years old, the neighbor kid, who was like 18, gave me all his Elvis singles, most likely original pressings. I wore out those fockers on my cheap turntable and still have them. I went and saw an Elvis tribute artist last year, and he did a version of "Poke Salad Annie," which I'd never before heard. It was a hell of a performance and got me listening to his later work, and some of that stuff blew me away. Some of his best songs are in his later work. It really wasn't until his last year that he got all fat and gross. Suggestions on the later work. From Elvis in Memphis Back in Memphis Elvis in person at the International Hotel On Stage.

A very well-contructed song full of heart and emotion, almost an answer to Led Zeppelin's dynamics, particularly "Babe I'm Going I'm Gonna Leave You."

The Elevator Killer 521 Posted February 14 If you've never seen Elvis That's The Way It Is I would recommend it. There's the original version and a special edition. I would go with the original version. Just fast forward through the rehearsal stuff and fan comments and get to the concert. It was filmed about a month before I saw him in person for the first time, so you're seeing pretty much what I saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I guess they were popular, but I don't think that should be a reason to be in the R&R HOF, although it's a HOF I don't even care about. Wasn't a fan of the White Stripes myself.
