Elvis is by far one of the proggiest artist ever.

He started by his Sing-rock'n'roll-not-written-by-me phase.
Then, he entered his my-music-is-getting-crappier phase.
Then, his look-how-fat-and-ugly-I-am-now phase.
Finally his I'm-dead-but-everybody-thinks-I'm-the-king-hahaha-suckers phase.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Elvis was, like sleeper said, manufactured pop. He didn't wrote anything. King of nothing was he.

 

You don't know anything about rock 'n roll history. And think before speak....

Take a look here.

"The Beatles' release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, represented a watershed development in the development of the genre. In retrospect, examples of progressive rock can be identified as existing prior to that album's appearance in June 1967, ranging from Elvis Presley's early rockabilly experiments to the Byrds' folk rock classics recorded between 1965-1967."

So Elvis is proto-prog, right? Wink
