I don't know who canged it 
But if you are asking who changed it,there would have been no Beatles without people like Elvis,Chuck Berry,Little Richard.
So...sorry dudes,I love the Beatles but I gotta say Elvis.

Elvis - John Lennon always acknowledged the impact that hearing Elvis had on him, so no Elvis = no Beatles.

Kraftwerk are overrated, at least their latter albums. their early albums (which, for some reason, they don't want to be republished again), are a lot better. the latter ones are too mechanical and lack soul. the last one I can really listen to is "Radio-Activity", anything after that is absolutely soulless

Beatles wi'out a doubt. Elvis tends to strike most people as something of a relic nowadays, whilst the Beatles' direct and indirect influence on modern music can still be seen today.

Elvis was more of a superstar, he didn't even write his songs (at least not all of them). I don't think he "changed" the music world, whereas The Beatles DID change the music world, in so many ways.

Elvis wasn't the Beatles' only influence, so if there was no Elvis,
then I think someone else would have served as the Beatles' influence
and brought them together. In any case, a lot of the things that
the Beatles did that made an impact weren't influenced by Elvis at all.

Beatles influenced most prog bands and other rock bands all over the world. Elvis just pissed people off!

No Beatles=Boundaries still existing in rock and roll
The Beatles opened up and made accessible the idea of incorporating other genres into rock music and making it extremely listenable. They tried several different types of music throughout the course of not several albums, but just one or two. You find me any other two albums from a single band that have had as much influence as Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. You can't, they laid the groundwork for rock for the next 40 some years. Elvis was influential, but the one that starts the genre doesn't always have the most important influence.

The Beatles Influenced most bands in History, but guys' like Buddy Holiday and Elvis had a huge impact on the Beatles.
