Elvis

As a 90s kid, I wasn't exposed to Elvis very often, unlike my parents who grew up listening to the rock legend. Because of how highly my parents talked of Mr. Presley, I always had respect for him, without knowing why. Like I mentioned in one of my other blogs I don't particularly enjoy listening to music from back in Elvis' day. It's most likely because of my inability to grasp the historical context of Elvis' accomplishments, or the outdated feel I get when listening to him. Personally, I respect Elvis as a recording artist but not as a role model. He was known for his drug use and with the popularity equivalent to Justin Bieber he wasn't an ideal person to look up to.  All in all Elvis Presley made a huge impact on music, and for that he should be known as one of the most influential rock legends ever.
