    I always thought Elvis' version of "Hound Dog" was stupid.  I like
    "Don't Be Cruel" much better.

    Not an Elvis fan.  He had a beautiful voice but never quite knew what to
    do with it.  No 10's for me, but "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "Love Me
    Tender," "Jailhouse Rock," and the aforementioned "Don't Be Cruel" are 9's.

    ---------
    And "Heartbreak Hotel" with that great piano break.

    I give "Hound Dog" a slight edge.

    I'll go for "Don't Be Cruel" over "Hound Dog"

    listed randomly:

    Heartbreak Hotel
    I Forgot To Remember To Forget
