"Lennon was a most talented man and above all, a gentle soul. John and his colleagues set a high standard by which contemporary music continues to be measured." Frank Sinatra on John Lennon."What the hell is "I Am The Walrus" all about?" Frank Sinatra on John Lennon.
Well first of all, Elvis liked John Lennon's music. that's how Elvis inspired John Lennon.
Elvis Presley was Lennon's first hero of note... a friend played him "Heartbreak Hotel" early in 1956, and Lennon said later "It was so beautiful, I couldn't speak." When the Beatles met Presley in 1965, Lennon reportedly told him to his face "Before you, there was nothing."Lennon also spoke highly of his college friend Stuart Sutcliffe (the original Beatles bass player, who tragically died at 21 from a brain hemorrhage), and later admired artists like Michel Duchamp.Elvis Presley.
He was very inspired by Elvis as is John Lennon, his late fellow partner with the Beatles. In 1950's at the age of 15, he wore his hair in an "Elvis do" because of the inspiration.

John Lennon told Tom Snyder in 1975 that he used to watch girls screaming for Elvis Presley and other performers, and Lennon thought "That's a good job." (One of the reasons Lennon asked Paul McCartney to join his band is because McCartney resembled Elvis.)

They met once, in the summer of 1965, with The Beatles coming to Elvis' Hollywood home. The evening was uneventful; they jammed a little, and talked about songwriting and their careers up to that point. John Lennon told Elvis to his face "Before you there was nothing", and asked why Elvis had stopped making albums, besides his movie soundtracks.The Beatles were saddened and disappointed to find out years later that Elvis had appealed to President Richard Nixon to ban the Beatles in the United States, on the grounds that their drug use would corrupt America's youth. (Ironically, Elvis was high on prescription medications, at the time he made the appeal.)

Elvis Presley was an early pioneer of the rock n' roll movement that took place during the 1950s'. He has sold over a billion albums worldwide , and is forever embedded in the world of pop culture. He has influenced The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Doors and numerous others. As John Lennon said in an interview before he died " if there was no Elvis, there would be no Beatles"
The Beatles were more popular, as they have sold more albums than Elvis.
