Elvis...or Michael?

I think Elvis and MJ influenced music and culture in different ways.

Elvis broke barriers regarding dance and music style as well as "decency standards". Without Elvis who knows if MJs dance style (complete with crotch grabbing) would have been accepted and embraced. Or maybe he would have been the one to break them.

I think, by virtue of being around first Elvis and the Beatles laid the ground work for MJ to be as successful and influential as he was.
