Who deserves the title "The King of Rock and Roll"?

I don't think Paul McCartney has gotten head for a long time, actually.

Bet he asked Heather Mills for loads. You'd be grateful for any 10 minutes of peace and quiet being married to that bitch.

You can't get that much out of a vegan.

rock n roll is kinda mix of black and white, though. Everybody took influences from everybody. But without blacks, it would be fast country and without whites jump blues...?

Yes, rock is definitely a mixed-race baby. Well, I guess it's more like a mixed-race dying old fart now.

It's also a mix of brown and tan.

What is the problem? If rock n roll is a mix of black and white? Without country music influence there would not be rock and without blues influence (and gospel and whatever) there would not be rock.

And when it comes to the topic of this thread, how can we decide who was the most important one? I dunno.

And John Lennon was a paradox to end all the other paradoxes and changed his opinions as usually as other people change their trousers so they shouldn't be taken very seriously.

I liked to hear your perspectives on the matter because originally you posted that African Americans created Rock n Roll and not Elvis. I liked to know why did you suddenly change your perspective to blacks and whites both creating the genre.
