When do you think Elvis' voice was best for simply Rock material?

[TLC67]

1969 with the choices that are given. IMO....'74-'75.

Yep that's the year, 68

[jatta-tcb]

I really like his rock voice from ´68 and ´69 (y)

[Rover]

I think his voice was the best for rock songs around 55, and also in 68-69.
But he had a great voice through his whole career, maybe I have this impression because he did rock songs mainly in the years I mentionned

[rickb]

68 although every year was great up till 75. Beyond then he was better on the ballads

[ms_epblvd]

Absolutely - 1968/69 GREAT ROCK VOICE!!!!

[Diane]

I think he was great every year but I'll vote for '69.

[Burning_Love]

54-60 annnnnd '68 !

[presley31]

68 to 69 elvis was great in my opinion.

[Getlo]

It really depends on the type of rock you're talking about.

But in terms of the slightly gravelly and rough voice needed to strongly carry solid rock tunes, there's no question about it ...

'68 to '70.

[Unchained Melody]

I agree with you guys. Sure Elvis could still rock some good tunes through the 70's and he did with hits like T.R.O.U.B.L.E, Promised Land etc..but then his voice didn't have that Rockin' edge as it did in '68 and '69 imo.;)

1954-58

1969......IMO.:king:

[wolf61]

1957/1958...songs like Jailhouse Rock and Hard Headed Woman..illustrate that greatly(y)

[Sonny]

1968, 1969 for sure.

[ehollier]

I have to agree with Sonny. '68-'69 was his absolute best!!!!!

[easyrider]

1968-1969!!!!!!

[Donut]

The 50's to me (y)

[shelley.m.]

50's for me as well.Just listen to songs like 'Jailhouse Rock' and 'Big Hunk O' Love' and even 'Hard Headed Woman.'

[SleepyJack]

This is a tough one....I kind of have the same problem as Getlo here...not too sure what is meant by "Rock"..... but I`m guessing that you mean the more modern up-to-date rock sound rather than the more country/blues sounding earlier rock`n`roll...... if this is the case....then 1969....i think that each year after that the rock became more diluted with other sounds.... the live Rock`n`Roll from the `69 Vegas shows...well...it Rocks!!(y)

[WHITETIGERMAN]

I think 1968-1972 would do it for me.If given any good rock material he would prove what he had reguardless of what year really.
