Basically...if its "Pre-1965" that means "Pre-Beatles".

Elvis.

Dont bother with a poll.

Yep. Exactly.

Elvis.

That's the first option, although not my first choice.

Dont bother with a poll.

Too late.

Well..its like I was just posting in the other thread like this one:

Someone picked the guy from Radiohead as "The greatest R&R Frontman of all time.", and I was giving them shit for it.

The "greatest", must be the performer who made the biggest impact, became the bigger legend, sold the most records, cuased the biggest commotion over what they have donw with thier careers....things like that.

My favorite pre-Beatles era R&R performer may be Eddie Cochran, but he certainly isnt "The Greatest"...that name can only be logically applied to Elvis Presley.
