No he is not, he is rock'n roll. The creators of prog are the beatles, early floyd and king crimson ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child! Check out my bands myspace site: www.myspace.com/equinox17 |

You're lucky. I had to grow up listening to him on the radio. And he was already well past his GOOD period, if you know what I mean. |

No, he didn't. Chuck Berry and Little Richard did, but they were ignored because they were black. |

He must be the most OVERRATED artist from the whole history. Elvis was, like sleeper said, manufactured pop. He didn't wrote anything. King of nothing was he. |

He was the king of rock and roll, prog-rock falls under that category I think right? Elvis is king of rock, although Genesis is Lord of prog. Fill in Genesis with whoever though. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

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.  -------------  
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

Take a look http://www.shsu.edu/%7Elis_fwh/book/hybrid_children_of_rock/Progressive%20Rock2.htm - 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? |
