Just curious as to what everyone's favorites are. Obviously, there are no wrong answers.
For me, it's hard to pick just one. But if I had to narrow it down:
"Suspicious Minds"
"In the Ghetto"
"You gave me a Mountain" (the live version off the Aloha from Hawaii album)

I agree, too hard to pick one, but I narrowed it to this list:
Impossible Dream
Blue Hawaii
Never Been To Spain (decent cover of Three Dog Night Classic on Live from Madison Square Gardens album)
Don't
If I Can Dream
Bosa Nova Baby (somewhat cheesy early-mid 60's song)
Memories (Singer comeback special)
My Way (even though Anka wrote it for Frank, Elvis did a helluva rendition)
Merry Christmas, Baby
Blue Christmas
Crying in the Chapel
The Promised Land

Jailhouse Rock
I had Elvis 45's but didn't listen to Elvis once the British invasion hit...my mom went on to be a huge Elvis fan.

"An American Trilogy" -The family of one of my wife's co-workers who was killed 9-11 at The Pentagon played this song at his viewing some powerful stuff.

While I like Elvis, most of his movies were absolute garbage, thanks to the Colonel. But there was one that was as good or better than any movie at the time, much less any other Elvis movie. That movie was King Creole.
Elvis was still rocking then, and it comes through in Trouble, Dixieland Rock, Hard Headed Woman, and the title song. This is definitely my favorite Elvis movie and those are some of my favorite songs as well.
Outside the movie soundtracks, I really like Big Hunk O Love - another solid rocker.
