Many bands would not exist if not for Elvis, including 'The Beatles', and the majority of the other 'British Invasion' bands, Elvis was their main influence, before Elvis Britain was not even aware of Rock, it was during the war that American soldiers brought over American culture & American music, The british caught on too this quick, they were opened to many American artist and later 'The Beatles' were born.

Its quite possible without the influence of Elvis, Rock could have taken a turn for the worst, it could have become a dead genre.

In the United States back when racism was still harsh, Rock was labeled as 'Negro Music', a lot of white audiences didn't want to hear it, it wasn't until Sun records showed up with people like Elvis & Buddy Holly, did white audiences start liking rock.
