Elvis is the king I won't deny that. He started it all (Althought that can be argued and even if he did start it all it was a natural progression that would've been created by someone around that same period). I respect the hell out of Elvis. I just think the music he made was terrible. If that was the rock and roll of my day then I wouldn't have been a fan of rock n roll. Once again I respect what he did for the genre but beyond that I've got nothing for him.

think of it like this. you chose "CottonWasKing". I would have chosen "For What it's Worth" Cotton was a song WSP wrote and played. FWIW was The First song WSP ever played.


I chose Cotton Was King because I'm a panic fan that grew up in a farming family. It has nothing to do with the actual song I don't even particularly care for the song nor that album as a whole minus a few tracks. I just thought it was a cool name that fit me.

I gues I could've picked my favorite Panic songs but expiration day, lets get the show on the road and chainsaw city just don't have the same ring to it. Plus Fishwater was already taken.


But I still hold to the belief that FWIW is the greatest song that panic has ever played..... Simply because it may be the best song ever written imo

frick no. Elvis isn't the king and he didn't start rock n roll. If anything it was Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. Elvis wasn't even a "rock band" just a singer. If we are talking 50s, Buddy Holly and the Crickets were the most American rock band of all time because they set the standard for what american rock n roll bands would become.
