Elvis' body of work hasn't stood up well over time. I will stick by it. He was revolutionary for his day but his music hasn't stayed prominent.

+1 ....if he was still alive he would have
been playing Vegas to the retirees not
the Coachella Fest like some of the bands
that still matter do.
Note: He'd be 82 so probably not playing anywhere

What does that mean, hasn't stood up well over time? What criteria are you applying? I will go with Rolling Stone's assessment if I need to go beyond my own opinion which is that he remains among the very few greatest rock singers.

Graceland is packed every single day of the week with tourists. He's been dead for 30 years. What other entertainer who has been gone that long has such a following? And Elvis has his own channel on Sirius -- do the Beatles?

I don't see how anyone can state objectively that his music has not stood up over time. His music is timeless, and I'm not even the biggest Elvis fan (though I have been to Graceland).

I think people will recognize the name Elvis for many decades to come, but relatively few of them will enjoy listening to his music, so he's transcended his talents and entered the ranks of famous for being famous.

PS the fact that I was unaware of this channel supports my argument that the Beatles don't resonate today as well as Elvis does.

Just my two cents but I would rather listen to Elvis than the Beatles as I think most if not all of their music has not age well at all either.

And I definitely would not want to watch any of Elvis or the Beatles movies.

Again just my two cents on the topic.

I am not sure that I understand what is being argued here regarding Elvis/The Beatles etc. Of course much of their music would not hold up for today's generation. Music tastes change. Attitudes change. Most importantly, what Elvis and The Beatles did has been either mimicked or at least partially copied so much over the past 50+ years that it has watered down the original.

Like anything else they need to be viewed in the context of their time. Citizen Kane was a landmark film in 1939 for many many reasons. Those reasons soon became standard film making practice. 75 years later my kids watch it and only see the story and it being "just another film". Without the historical context this is what happens.

Just because the music of Elvis or The Beatles may not "hold up" to today's generation doesn't make them any less important. In some ways, the influence of Elvis and The Beatles permiating every corner of the music industry has led to their own music not "holding up". It has been copied and mimicked so often that it has watered down the content of the original. Until you put them in their true historical context. Like a Citizen Kane.

I think the station is new in the past week or so.

Is anyone collecting revolutionary hip-hop artists of 70s, or can anyone even name one that more than 2 in 10 would recognize?

In my opinion Elvis, the Beatles, James Brown and Motown will always have a place in music history long after folks stop googling "What da funk"
