I voted Sinatra because not only was he a better singer than Elvis, he could also kick the ever-loving shit out of him.

I only made this poll because I was thinking of 3000 Miles to Graceland earlier, and the part where they discuss the two fighting.

But this isn't really who could kick the shit out of the other.

There's a reason they call him The King.

I like Elvis but, in my book, he doesn't even compete with Frank Sinatra.

It's a pretty broad term.

Exactly! That's why I judged not only on their singing, but also on their ass-kicking capacity.

Sinatra would also be a better pole-vaulter.

I prefer rock and roll to lounge music.

I actually like both of them about the same, musically speaking.

Sinatra's class and style gives him the slight edge in my book over Elvis' pelvic thrusts. I mean, I drink manhattan's when I go out usually. Manhattan's aren't even that great, but goddamnit if they're good enough for Frank, they're good enough for me.

That's pretty nice of you, but I've never pole-vaulted before. Thanks though!

i voted elvis, but his annoying fans that flood memphis annually almost lost it for him.

I, like GWD, appreciate them both almost equally, but because Elvis's descendants are Scientologists, the point goes to Frankie.

not only did elvis know martial arts, but he also trained w/ bruce lee. i doubt the little italian wannabe-mafioso crooner would be a problem for the king

I'm not sure a coked out fat martial artist could do that much damage. I could be very wrong.

if you are going to pick his twilight years, then maybe... but what if we pick sinatra's twilight as well? isn't it some 30-40 years more than elvis'? old man would probably break a hip sooner than deliver a kick

He'd probably sing his way out of it.

I've never really gotten why so many people overrate Sinatra so damn much. I don't get the great voice. He sings everything the same easy way in the same easy register and half of it is talky bullshit and not true singing. I'm no Elvis fan by any stretch but I'd have to go with that style of rock over the talky shit. Elvis didn't have a classic good voice either but it was good for what he did. James Hetfield has a horrendous voice but it was perfect for that old Metallica howling style that's aggressive without being screaming/growling.
