Feel like this has some parallels to the Paul Simon vs. Leonard Cohen debate

i assumed JCLC was just comparing cash's sun sessions to elvis's sun sessions -- elvis wins that one IMO, but if you're comparing entire careers it's probably cash

Elvis wins Sun sessions easily imo!

Cry! Cry! Cry!
I Walk the Line
I Still Miss Someone
Five Feet High and Rising
Ring of Fire
Jackson
Don't Take Your Guns to Town
Folsom Prison Blues
Daddy Sang Bass
Flesh and Blood
Man in Black
A Boy Named Sue
