The Beatles went around picking up classic yet unused tunes the way early explorers would discover plants and animals unknown to Europeans. The right band at the right time. Elvis was more of a force of nature - couldn't write a note himself but hotwired the world to a more 'pelvic' way of thinking. Both were essential to the way music was shaped forever for good or ill. Incidentally, my father-in-law went to school with Paul McCartney and George Harrison. He's got a great old photo of all the kids lined up, and you can pick out Paul & George a mile off.
