People will say Elvis sucks.  It only means they have no understanding of him or the times in which he lived. 

Without Elvis, there is no Beatles.  Without the Beatles, there is no...name any band that came after.  They were a garage band that inspired the birth of so many other garage bands who grew up to be legends and inspired countless other bands. 

Some people get a moment in history.  They are remembered, probably by some more than others.  Then there are others who make history.  Their stories last forever.

Also don't see how their post-Beatles careers has anything to do with them as a band.

Without Carl Perkins (a MUCH better musician), there is no Elvis.....without John Lee Hooker, there is no boogie beat to base rock n roll on......and so the story goes....
