<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>My brother loves him, so I can&#39;t stand him from over-exposure... However, it has to be a hit just for the influence that he had...</span>

Elvis - he is the King.

Of course he&#39;s a bloomin&#39; hit&#33; He is the only recording artist to have had top 10 hits in 6 decades (&quot;Little More Conversation&quot; counts as an Elvis song, as does &quot;Rubberneckin&quot; - which I&#39;m not so keen on).

He is the greatest selling recording artist of all time.

He has written / performed some of the best songs ever - here&#39;s just a few:

Heartbreak Hotel
Blue Suede Shoes
Hound Dog
All Shook Up
Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Jailhouse Rock
Love Me Tender
Return to Sender
(You&#39;re The) Devil In Disguise
In the Ghetto
Suspicious Minds
I Can&#39;t Help Falling in Love
Always On My Mind

and the wonderfully named Song Of The Shrimps on the B-side of the &quot;Girls&#33; Girls&#33; Girls&#33;&quot; album...

Didn&#39;t his manager used to use songs written by unknowns and insist Elvis got a writing credit on them thus screwing the writers out of loads of cash?

Still like the man and the legend though.
