Elvis...or Michael?

Back to the original question... I think that they both (and most others mentioned here) had an incredible impact on music (sound, look, related arts, the industry... everything). Whether I particularly enjoy any one over the other, I think, is moot. My opinions weren't asked on musical preference; only, who had the bigger impact on music?

Is impact on something like music even quantifiable? I think that's the problem with these "50 best ever albums/songs/artists" lists. Everyone will have a different one. Some artists, arguably, will find a greater consensus among the people as being 'great' or having a 'big impact'...

Meh, I'm too cranky to be having this conversation in my head. I'll have to revisit this later. I'm cranky with the entire premise. Grr...
