Elvis was a fat, racist piece of s**t (not unpopular)
His music was mainly s**t too
He wasn't racist, at his peak he rivalled Paul Newman as the greatest looking man ever and he was a brilliant singer. zero out of three for you.

Hence the title 'unpopular opinions'
That's probably it.The problem in regards to Elvis' music is that you have to look at him in the context of his time. These days, his music is still good but it symbolises that era and for a lot of people it's outdated.
He pioneered so much, but we're closer to, if not at, the point where his style isn't in modern music anymore. We've moved on from that era.

I've never gotten the Elvis hype. I admire him for being pretty much the first frontman, who changed performing live forever, by being the first to really entertain the fans with swings and dances, rather than just standing and singing, but I just don't like his music and never will. It always seemed a bit wacky and over the top (Love Me Tender would be in my top five worst songs ever). My decision isn't being based on time either - i'm pretty big on Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly from the same time period but Elvis' stuff hasn't appealed to me.
These are my unpopular opinions:
The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Yes are fab.
Whatever your musical tastes are, good on you .... the main thing is that music brings you some joy in life.
People who put down others' musical tastes are boring and they can GAGF
IMHO

I don't think he pioneered much at all. He was popular in an era where a lot of black artists made great music that white artists made popular.

‘With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'.
- BB King.
Black man, fellow musician, contemporary of Elvis Presley
Think I know who to trust on this one.
Never mind that Presley himself adopted profoundly black musical styling in a lot of his work.
The perception of his racism is based on a single quote - which he never actually said.Interesting that a modern black political activist like Chuck D had this to say in the song "Fight The Power"
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant s**t to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother **** him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
Evil Empire is RATM’s best album.Rage Against the Machine's Renegades covers album is as good as their other 3 albums and Renegades of Funk, Microphone Fiend and Maggie's Farm are RATM classics.
Maggie's Farm close to top 5.

‘The only thing negroes are fit to do is shine my shoes.’
Not a single person has been able to provide a shred of evidence that he said it. And an absolute gaggle of his black contemporaries speaks glowingly about how much they loved him and about how he never had a bad word to say about anyone.
I think I’ll take their word over that of Chuck D, who’s music became popular a decade after Elvis took his last breath.
