Joel has worked with some fine musicians, but something that Elton had that Joel didn't was Caleb Quaye, Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray, Kenny Passarelli, Nigel Olsson, Ray Cooper, Roger Pope, plus adjuncts like Jean-Luc Ponty, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Michael Brecker, Rick Wakeman, etc. I like all of those folks better than the musicians in Joel's bands.
