I would guess that he wouldn't like most of it,just think of it this way if he didn't like a lot of the "hard Rock" stuff from the 70's I can imagine he would like it less now...the younger artist would respect him like they do Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.and paul mccartney ,,I think he would have retired by now..just my opinion though

He would say the same thing about today's music that he said in 1968, 1970 and so on.

In a sense, today's world of song downloads is similar to the music industry model that was in place when Elvis first rose to prominence...with an emphasis on singles as opposed to albums.

You're showing your age.

There is a lot more to popular music than 16 year-old Justin Drew Bieber.

If you care to look beyond the top 100.....there is plenty of great music out there and more importantly superb artists.

A bonanza of terrific material .

We never had it so good...just open your ears and explore

Through the last 30 years he would have gravitated to country popularity. The sky was still the limit for him if he got his health back.
