Beatles never really denied they were talentless hacks. Can't say that about Elvis.
cant compare the impact of the British Invasion (Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, etc) to Elvis.
The Beatles and The Stones spearheaded that shyt. Shifted the landscape forever.
Elvis was just popular.

I like the one that says shum pulp
The Beatles were all multi-talented musicians, writers, vocalists, and producers in their own right; their technical influence is heard every day in a lot of popular music
Elvis just had a good voice, but he didn't write a thing and was a better piano player than a guitarist
Decades ago, you would've been asking about Johnnie Ray, who came after Sinatra and right before Elvis, it happens

Love is a long road.
Elvis was the original Eminem. Simply a ok/average singer who only got to the top because he copied Black artists and appealed to racist suburban/ country cacs.

Elvis ain't got nothing on The Beatles. Generations impacted by their music.
Beatles popularized and revolutionized music production techniques like sampling.
Elvis bit and did nothing else.
Beatles were so popular they were afforded the ability to experiment to do whatever the fukk they wanted and gave back to music in spades.
Elvis doesn't have a single song as good as this.

Elvis always gave credit to black artists and acknowledged that his sound and music was inspired by us.
With that being said, I don't feel the Beatles get more love than him. I think it's what and what

Two of the Beatles are still alive, and the 4 members built on their legacy after the group split up with solo, group, and collab projects of their own.

The Beatles despite their fukkery, were choirboys by comparison, however their presence is really felt on the technical side of things. The polished studio album is something they helped pioneer and spearhead the move away from live recordings.
While never shy of citing their influences, they appropriated a lot of shyt too, that's a whole other conversation though.

Elvis came out early 50’s Beatles was mid 60’s … no color TV, no Woodstock, establishing society after WW2 not trusting overseas shyt… that 10 year start difference is big… also members of Beatles are still alive and or lived into the 2000’s… Elvis expired in the mid 70’s…he came up during black and white TV and died 20 years after his first hit… not a long run wayJust seems like The Beatles never stopped getting love and nobody is tryin to hear about no hunk of hunk of burning love
Also Christmas music is still loved from that era …He developed a reputation as a shark

Not an expert, but they went from Twist and Shout to Yesterday. And then they started getting into more psychedelic rock sounds.
Also, a lot of white artists that start with Black music, eventually transition out.
