Alright, here comes the discography review - the first of other artists than Elton!
First, one thing: His soundtracks are NOT crap. Cannot understand the popular consensus on 'em.
I prefer the later career, particularly those that start with That's The Way It Is.
I have also changed the value of "highlights" and "super highlights", so they're harder to get. Elvis has zero super highlights to me.
Okay, now to the scores:
Elvis Presley ***½ Highlights: "Blue Suede Shoes"
Elvis ***½ Highlights: "Long Tall Sally"
Loving You ***
King Creole ***½ Highlights: "Hard Headed Woman"
A Date With Elvis ***
Elvis Is Back! ***½
G.I. Blues ****½ Highlights: "Wooden Heart", "Pocketful Of Rainbows", "Blue Suede Shoes"
His Hand Is Mine ****½
