Never heard of him ........ I assume he's some sort of musician.

To me he played in one of the best groups ever, next to the Beatles of course. Their style of rock/pop and jazz worked really well. And yes Seriouspie he was some sort of musician

I'm old and you're of a younger age Joe. As once said on this board months ago there was only one rock 'n roll and that was in the mid 50's when Elvis was the King along with Jerry Lee, Cochran and many other US bands. When proper R&R finished the Beatles came along but their music was entirely different. A very successful group but utter rubbish at R&R. You won't remember the days of the old Vic ballroom but for us oldsters it was something we'll remember for ever. When Haley came to the Odeon, it was packed out but they relayed the live sound into Slab square where all the kids were jiving to the music.

Try Donald Fagen as well although you would need to pay £70 to £100 for Kamakiriad on vinyl but it's worth it.

You are clearly trapped in the Three Chord Wonder Time Warp, nothing wrong with that of course some of the worlds finest Blues Music and Musicians are from the that school.

You need to get out a bit more and smell the Coffee there are clearly bigger and better musicians in the world than Presley always have been always will be, to give you some credit you mentioned two yourself Jerry Lee and Eddie Cochran, a very underrated guitarist was he, in fact when he toured here in 1960 another guitar great played guitar for him on that ill fated tour, do you know his name. Well I will let you into a not so well kept secret it was our own Joe Brown who Eddie rated very highly.
