Elvis or the Beatles: The answer may lie in the birthdates of the responders. I was born in 1945 and remember Elvis' first appearance on Country Hayride and his subsequent appearances on Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan. He was the King when I was a teenager, while the Beatles didn't come along til I was in college. My guess is that many (not all) of the ones who feel the Beatles were greater were a little younger than I.
