Absolutely. And Jimmy Page cites this as the recording that inspired him to pick up a guitar.
Compiling a top-20 'most essential' for Elvis Presley is a challenge too much!

Wow. Whoever wrote that just looked at the back of an Elvis Presley Greatest Hits album and wrote down the songs. Mundane is a perfect description.

It is as ridiculous and useless as any journalist's bollocks of that type. 20 essential songs? Elvis is essential as such. I am looking forward to the next article (well, it is not even an article, is it?), which I guess will be 20 essential sentences by Hemingway.
