Answers: if Big E was still alive , he could roll his old fat butt out on a stage and sing the entire MCR catalog and it would draw more of a croud than they'll be performing for in 10 years

---

Are you seriously comparing Elvis Aaron Presley, the greatest artist to ever grace our planet with My Chemical Romance, a bunch of worthless gay emo's???well, Elvis had in his left testicle more talent than what they had and will ever have, they aren't worth shining Elvis' shoes.

---

You are high on crack, there is no comparison between the two. There is only one king.

---

I would have to say Elvis because he basicly created rock music. My Chemical Romane is far too new of a band to have changed much. Besides not many people like them. I like MCR and Elvis, but i would say that elvis destroys McR because he is the godfather of rock.

---

Elvis!!!! I don't really care for his music but MCR is just some popular band with depressing songs. Nobody will remember who they are in a year. Elvis will live on forever.

---

duhhhhhhhh

elvis

mcr hasn't influenced anyone...and if they have they obviously suck.

---

depends.
all the MCR haters will say elvis......
but i LOVE MCR so i have to say them, at least theyre more influential to me.

and i will probably get lots of thumbs down for this, but OH WELL!!!!!!!!

---

Depends on the Generation. people that where born in the late 80's to now... MY Chemical Romance has been more influential and people before the eighties more around the time Elvis was alive and the one's that where around his death probably see Elvis as more influential
but for these days: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!

and to the haters: MCR is NOT EMO! never was and never have been and people have been saying MCR will never be remembered or know "the next year" since the beginning back in 2001 and look how far they have made it and how known they are now. (sometime 2009 is when Gerard said they will be working on their new Album) so My Chemical Romance is still going to be around for some years.
why don't you guys try to be more mature and just agree that everyone has different taste in music and no ones taste in music is better than the other person! grow up haters

---

I would say Elvis; he changed a lot of how people looked at the style of music/performance.

I love My Chemical Romance (their lyrics are to die for, in my opinion), but you can't really say that they are defining or revolutionizing a genre or anything.

---

i do love mcr, but without a doubt elvis influenced more people. elvis's music has been around for a lot longer and his influence shows up in a lot of musicians' work. theres no comparison.

---

Well, i love MCR, but Elvis is, well, Elvis.
Having said that, MCR haven't been around as long as the music of Elvis so we have had decades to see his influence, while MCR haven't. So it's hard to really compare the two.

---

Elvis.

---

that would be menudo-the most influential band in history.-do u eat every stupid biscuit you see or what

---

This is just a pitiful question. Are kids really this stupid.

God if I have to hear when I'm 35 how influential Blink 182 and the sort is I'll probity shoot myself.

---

Until a book comes out with a respectable rock critic referring to My Chemical Romance as the "Kings of Emo" and people begin to make pilgrimmages to their boyhood and adult homes as musical Meccas, I think Elvis takes the edge here..by a full blue suede shoe.

This is not me "hating" on MCR...I actually like them..but they are in no way in the same sphere of "rockness" as the King.

---

Personally I think it depends on what type of influence you are talking about. If you are talking about influencing music then Elvis. If you are talking about influencing people, I am more inclinded to say MCR.

---

If the question was "which is better", then maybe there would be an excuse for saying MCR. But greater makes you think in terms of talent, in terms of how big the music is. Elvis has to win in the talent department. I mean, he's a pretty amazing dancer/singer and he can write catchy songs on a regular basis. MCR are good at guitars and drums, and have some standout songs. As for influential, I shouldn't even need to say it. Elvis paved the way for the Beatles and other artist. He started to lay the foundation of rock. MCR has not changed music whatsoever. Maybe they've changed teenagers lives' but no way have they changed music.

You'd have to be a crazed MCR fan to not say Elvis, and even then, it's pretty much a fact that Elvis is far more influential.

---

when i first read the question i expected to open it, and see addtional details saying you were just making fun of My Chem...... are you seriously comparing them? I love my chemical romance but..... I think Elvis is a LITTLE more influential them MCR, and will always be considered Greater, unless everybody's memory of him gets erased.

---

Elvis
MCR? are you kidding me?!

---

Did your parents drop you on your head or something?
Are they brother and sister?
Jesus Chirst you are mentally challenged!
As of right now, I'm starting a coalition to ban MCR and such bands from polluting the minds of gullible and naive people like yourself.
Comparing ELVIS TO MCR?!
How do you sleep?
HONESTLY?!

---

you are comparing a legend with a relatively new band?

omg...go get your medicine

---

my chemical romance...elvis sucks

---

let me get this straight. you are putting Elvis, the king of rock and roll, next to My chemical romance, a group of wannabes with crap and depressing songs (in comparison to elvis) elvis was a pioneer in the rock genre. without him, there would be no mcr!!!

---

I hope you're joking.

---

Even though I was/I am a huge fan of My Chemical Romance, Elvis was and still more influential. You shouldn't have asked that simple thing. :D

---

depends on if you are EMO. haha
i would say my chemical romance.
since i am not a hound dog and all.
:D
