Would you rather have Mick Jagger

[DeniseJH]

Jagger for sure. Stones > Elvis any day!

I would never disagree with that!

If it's a choice between them, I choose Mick for sure. I honestly don't think there are that many Elvis impersonators worldwide; I think that's more An American thing. I believe Mick had more impact

But to tell you the truth, I'd choose Paul McCartney over Elvis or Jagger. Super-talented songwriter, worldwide succesd as a performer, but with a reasonable normal family life (as much as one can be normal with that level of fame) and has been filling stadiums around the world for fifty years...Yeah, I think I'd like that

Try again.

Elvis at age 42 a few months before he died.




Mick at age 42 (with Tina Turner at Live Aid)

 

[RangerPooh]

Mick over Elvis. Both have decent music, but I'd rather take old Mick over fat Elvis any day.

Been to Graceland three times in the 4 years I've lived in Memphis. I'm not a big Elvis fan, but DH grew up in an household with parents who were BIG fans.

I’d rather have Streisand’s career minus the politics.

Not to mention his movies with Ann Margaret, Shelly Farbares, Mary Ann Mobley, Raquel Welch, Stella Stevens, Barbara Eden and many more. Tough Gig.

I recently saw the 1960 film "Where The Boys Are" which starred Dolores Hart. I was surprised (years ago) when I read she became a nun.

 

[L&Lfan]

I just saw her being interviewed in the film Tab Hunter Confidential which was on TCM. Apparently they “dated” when they were contemporaries In Hollywood and remained friends until his death.

I believe Mick had more impact

I am a very big Stones fan and grew up in the Elvis era. I like them both, a lot. I do think though that Elvis has had a larger impact. With impact defined as influencing the future, in this case, pop music in general. Elvis was the one, or at least a very important one, who, with many of his early covers, took black inspired blues music to a more white audience. Some came before him, but he, for various reasons, was the breakout guy. Others followed him at the time. The Stones, Beatles and countless others in the 60's, 70's and beyond, state that they were influenced very heavily on the music of the 50's., inclusive of Elvis. Also, his gyrating moves, pretty eye-opening at the time, led to many performing likewise in years to come, like Mick for instance. Or James Brown, or Michael Jackson.

I probably am a bigger Stones/Mick fan, but I do think Elvis has had the bigger musical impact. Just my opinion, not trying to convert anyone.

And I do like Elvis' gospel music better than Mick's.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Can I choose a different one? I'll take David Bowie.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I'll take Elvis. Because I'm pretty sure I could avoid the booze buffets and pills that did him in.
