Favourite - probably a tie between Always On My Mind and Suspicious Minds. It's just coincidence that they are both 'mind' songs. Least favourite is Surrender - it's too bleak and dramatic for my taste.

Yes to both.

Deedeedocket · 12/03/2021 20:40

Least favourite is the wooden heart.

Favourite is Trying to get to you but the comeback version.

AgentCooper · 12/03/2021 20:40

Your two favourites are definitely among mine too. I also love Burning Love and Marie’s the Name. The American Trilogy is bloody beautiful too.

Never been keen on Wooden Heart.

Snooks1971 · 12/03/2021 20:41

Suspicious Minds

NeverTrustaRabbit · 12/03/2021 20:42

Favourite - "Can't help falling in love" or "Teddy Bear"

Least favourite "Old Shep" - too mawkish for my tastes

Stepmother used to have an 8track that she played —constantly— in my teens with 3 or 4 hours of just Elvis so I struggle not to scream when I hear him now.
Saying that, In the Ghetto is fantastic.

My Mum loved Elvis but Old Shep really upset me as a child!

Snooks1971 · 12/03/2021 20:45

@Cocolapew oh I forgot Don’t Be Cruel - an absolute belter!

fredafortycoats · 12/03/2021 20:46

Devil in disguise is a favourite too

Cocolapew · 12/03/2021 20:47

My mum used to have the 40 greatest hits album with the brown sleeve I used to listen to it as a child and still sing the words I made up then because I couldn't figure out what he was saying. I was singing my version of some the other day while DH looked at me like this Hmm

NeverTrustaRabbit · 12/03/2021 20:47

@Snooks1971 my mom was the same, Elvis, Jim Reeves and Gene Autry.

She loved Old Shep, but like you it upset me as a child. I can still remember her spring cleaning, Elvis playing and her singing along.

Cocolapew · 12/03/2021 20:48

Isn't it Snooks? It's my Mums favourite because she loves the intro.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 12/03/2021 20:49

I like the Sun stuff, but not a fan of anything after the mid-50's really. It's just commercialised pop crap. The less said about the gospel stuff the better.

WildRosie · 12/03/2021 20:49

I didn't know EP had recorded Fools Rush In. I only know the Rick Nelson and Brook Benton versions.

Love Me Tender is quite nice too. Don't Cry Daddy is soppy shit - worse than No Charge.

His version of Proud Mary from The On Stage album is a current favourite.

user1493494961 · 12/03/2021 20:51

American Trilogy and Love me Tender.
