Freddie Mercury. Elvis was an ass hooking up with a 14 year old child.
Patch 1.12, and not one step further!

Comparing these two is like saying "Peanut Butter, or Jelly?" You just can't. Both iconic music legends. You should have pitted them against "musicians" of this generation. seriously, try and find one, and no Nicki Donky or Justin Beaver or musicians. Can't even write music.

I dislike them both equally. So, I guess my vote goes to neither because they're both pretty bad.

This is mostly just going to show the age of posters more then which singer was better. This will be like the Babe Ruth Ty Cobb comparison in baseball. Until about 1950 Ty Cobb was just about unanimously considered the best baseball player of all time. Then the kids that grew up idolizing Ruth got into the mix and even though neither had played in several years it quickly swung to Babe Ruth. Elvis was a trail blazer and was one of a few people that created the way singers/bands delivered their music to people. You can take away who was better or not and just based on the fact Elvis was making it up as he went along it would be hard not to vote for him.

If you don't think Elvis was a performer then you should look into him a bit more. Originally Posted by schicklgruber

I guess I should elaborate a little more. Elvis, without a doubt, was more INFLUENTIAL. Although if I had to compare Elvis's songwriting and singing abilities to Freddie Mercury, then Freddie would win hands down in my opinion.

Not that Queen wasn't a great band, but there's no contest really. Elvis was clearly the most iconic and influential.

I would have to say Elvis, no matter how much I like Queen. But Elvis was HUGE

Don't really like any of them, but I'd vote Mercury I guess.

Elvis was marketed well, and did a ton for "rock". Mercury was a fucking god.
I am by no means a elvis fan AT ALL, so it's no contest. Mercury was a star that burned so bright, and burnt out far too fast. I often wonder what would have happened if him and/or hendrix had lived longer...

Freddie Mercury was literally a musical god, Elvis was so overrated, its really not funny. Don't get me wrong he had some good moves, and a lot of great (stolen) songs, though.

Elvis may have had a larger impact that's unquestionable, but Freddie was a real talent. Elvis was a guy who started a cultural revolution because he copied others without fame and brought it to the mainstream. Ford didn't invent the automobile but he brought it to the masses. Theres very little chance of someone having an impact on entertainment like Elvis or the Beatles had because of the time frame. They existed in the right moment when a vast amount of changes where happening world wide. Originally Posted by Mormolyce

The timing is just wrong.
