alright i know Elvis is the "King of Rock and Roll" but we all know he knew through chords and did not invent or help this genre at all. Who do you all think is the true king of rock. I believe there are 2, Buddy Holly who died at 22 but managed to influence this genre in so many ways, i think he invented punk rock cuz his songs have many similarities with punk, the music not the attutude, cuz he was a skinny pale white guy but is awesome. The Second, Chuck Berry. Great guitarist, invented modern guitar, everyone has heard Johnny B. Goode or Roll Over Beethoven, listen to him and youll know why i put him.

GA. Elvis is the king of rock and roll. Accept it. These other people are important to rock heritage. But they are not the kings of it. Einstein was not the king of relativity. Although I think he is called the Father of Relativity. Or is that Newton? Newton. So see? He's not even called the Father of Relativity. Newton is. Go on with your life. Buddy Holly can be called the Father of punk. Not the King of Rock. Peace.

butler elvis wasnt rock, he didnt make any wonderful breakthroughs to help rock, like chuck berry's modern distorted style of guitar playing, without him there would be no metal, elvis is dead and meant nothing to rock except most overrated person ever

Elvis - king of rock n roll, thats all i am saying

Elvis- King of pelvic thrusts.
That's what I'M saying.

has anyone else even heard of buddy holly and chuck berry? look em up read about em listen to em, listen to elvis, compare chuck berry to elvis and tell me who is the king of rock

i dont like buddy holly...hey i got 1000 posts

Keep in mind the times the two came. You're comparing our time with Elvis's, so to you and me (I'm not saying that Barry or Holly are kings of rock), and the younger people, the latter would seem to make more sense.
