The Beatles called one Elvis Presley song 'a load of rubbish'
THE BEATLES grew up listening to Elvis Presley and adored his music in their youth, but when they kickstarted their own careers they were quick to criticise the King of Rock and Roll, with many of them pointing out they "didn't like" the star's new style.
In the early-1960s The Beatles had begun their worldwide takeover. By 1963 the band had released their debut album Please Please Me, catapulting them to the number one spot in the UK. Once their fame had made them a household name, they began making appearances on television shows, and on December 7, 1963, The Beatles featured on Juke Box Jury, a show that had stars giving their verdicts on new music. And this particular week Elvis Presley was in the crosshairs.
