Elvis Presley went through some changes from "pre army" Elvis to "Vegas" Elvis.
Chuck Berry remained true to his original form (except for that "Ding A Ling" song ). I voted Chuck Berry. (Besides, without Chuck Berry who knows what would have become of Keith Richards)

Chuck is a musician, Elvis was a performer.
I'll go with Chuck |

Chuck. Every day, all day. Elvis always seemed rather fraudulent to me.

Chuck Berry is the man! One of the great rock n' roll riff-writers of all time (even if it was just the same riff in most songs). And he's still playing to this day!

Chuck wrote his own stuff, Elvis didn't. No contest.

Elvis was not only a good voice, but a force of nature, a paradigme shift

Always preferred Chuck's stuff to Elvis. Blame Back To The Future and Pulp Fiction.

Overall, Elvis. He has the better discography, with more variety.
On some song matchups, I'd easily pick Chuck Berry though. So I do like both, but Elvis wins the poll for me. |
