Sinatra - Decrepit old man

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Elvis - totally bad ass

 

[MG1968]

at least Sinatra lived to be a decrepit old man and his daughter never screwed Michael Jackson

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I don't see how Lisa Marie's screwing Michael Jackson has anything to do with Elvis.

I don't see how Elvis wearing a karate outfit that would look at home in "Pirates of Penzance" or "Cats" makes him a badass.

It's called joking around. You take stuff way too seriously.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Now I see why you hang around the Politics forum so much.

you should have seen the reaction I got when I said that I thought Claudio Sanchez sings like a girl

Frank still in the lead as it should be. Elvis was good for a few years. That was it.

For a few years? Then he got more out of those few years than Sinatra got out of all his years.

Frankie baby all the way.

I saw Sinatra in Vegas a couple of years before he died, and he still had it.

Elvis devolved into caricature waaaay before the end.

FWIW, Elvis changed the game.

Got a feeling Elvis is gonna win this thing in a landslide.

Good call.

Well, seeing how Elvis has far outsold Sinatra record-wise, I figured Elvis would also win this poll.

He was the foremost entertainer of the 20th Century.

He was the foremost entertainer of the 20th Century.

He dominated sales among the laugh track/fart joke crowd. Congrats.

[Pepe_Silvia]

He dominated sales in general.

You're starting to become the "Kevin Bacon wasn't in Footloose" Donkey with this.

Are you saying Elvis didn't sell more records than Sinatra?

You can act like a music snob all day, but the fact remains that Elvis had a far greater impact on music than Sinatra ever did.

I see eye-to-eye with you on many things. On this subject I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

 

[JTrainDavis]

Of course Elvis sold more records. But if that's the qualifier, Britney Spears is a much better artist than others who I would tend to believe are more capable.

Britney Spears is trash. At least we can agree on that.

You watch your tongue.
