I think they are both very influential in their own way. But I would say Elvis. Elvis shaped in a big part and brought back Rock and Roll. His lyrics, actions, and image were very revolutionary for the moment, he drove women mad. The Beatles, while most likely the most known band in history were not so revolutionary. They were very new and hip to US when they came over because the states didn't have the mod vs biker type scene that Britain had in that period. But all of their big accomplishments in the industry were a direct result of influences. They were influenced by the London scene, its very similar to what the Yardbirds sang, they just had more of a following. They then evolved into a more psychedelic sound, then into more introspective lyrics courtesy of Bob Dylan who was without a doubt the most revolutionary icon of the era. I think since they didn't necessarily come up with the concepts, but followed them they cannot be as influential. Elvis's concepts were all his own. Its just a matter of most people knowing the facts.

The Eagles....millions of people liking this band can't be wrong. But then my philosophy is that all people are bored.

Buy a CD by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman called "Shady Grove."  There are many sea shanties on it and it's terrific!

I'm an old fogey, and my favorite band that's still performing is The Eagles.  The Beatles made great music, too.

It was Don Henley formerly of the Eagles. It was from his 1982 solo debut "I Can't Stand Still". It topped the mainstream rock chart in 1982 and reached the top 5 of the pop charts in 1983 while the album reached #24 on the album chart. Lisa Marie Presley covered the song last year.
