I think Billy Joel has had the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows, while Elton John seems to have been more consistently entertaining. Had to vote for Billy simply because of this.

In all seriousness though, Goodnight Saigon is brilliant.

Elton. Aside from a handful singles, I really can't stand most of Joel's work at this point. Elton had a great run of albums early on.

This, completely. I fux with Elton. As long as Diana isn't involved.

For some reason I really like River of Dreams.

Billy jammed with my dad for about an hour after a show once, so I got to support him here.

OH GOD OH GOD!!!! 😲 😲 Bily Joel was the who sang We Didn't Start the Fire ! I was wondering how I couldn't name a single song by them and then looked it up and one was 'We Didn't Start the Fire'

How amazing is that song? 😁

Both are fine performers and good songwriters, but Elton, to me, is more consistent, and his highs are higher than Joel's.

Respect to both though.

I don't return to either all that much, but "your song", "Daniel", "Movin out", and "Only the good die young" rank pretty high on my singles list. I think I enjoy Billy Joel more solely because his singles tend to be more fun than Elton's and I can't say I enjoy Elton's albums as much anymore.

I think his (Elton John) first seven records are impeccable for pop music, personally.

Yeah, I think I've heard most or all of the records people are referring to here. Not my cup of tea, for the most part. I still get a kick out of songs like "Rocket Man" and "Crocodile Rock", though.
