    Is Elvis literally not one of the biggest rock and roll musicians ever? People have a problem with him because he took from black culture, but you can't deny what his reach was.

    Comparing Elvis and MJ is laughable anyway lol. MJ was lightyears more popular than Elvis, which is saying something.

    MJ is the GOAT. BL is NOT bigger than Thriller. but saying BL is not Abel's biggest is funny.
