Never liked him.

I’m in the same boat:
Always thought Elvis Presley was a bit lame and cheesy and half of it just sounds like lame ass country music yet he's supposed to be the king of Rock n Roll?
I really like Paul McCartney, but The Beatles music just sounds so average and I despise the cult like mentality of some fans and being told how I have to feel about the bands music.
I know-I know I have to be wowed by it and loose my mind blah-blah-blah-blah-blah
I couldn't have said it better.
shareElvis had a beautiful voice, a confident swagger and was a generous soul. I totally understand the cult of personality when it comes to Elvis and what an icon he was. I wish he had better song (and movie) material to work with. But when he was good....he was REALLY good. John Lennon once said: "Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis."
Having re-watched his comeback special recently, it reminded me just how much charisma he had on stage, and how great his voice could sound. I totally get it.
Now, I do NOT get The Beatles! I have never liked their music, save for 2 or 3 songs, tops. I much prefer Paul's solo stuff, and the work he did with Wings.
