OH it's Elton without a doubt. He seems to have moved effortlessly from one style of music to another and has so many greatest hits there are like four editions to choose from! Billy Joel has made some great albums also, but I think if you put their careers side by side and compare them Elton John has got the edge! I would just like to say that it is a musical blessing that both these gentlemen have got the careers that they have had.

Billy Joel is good, but Elton John is a classic... Elton John's music will live forever. [Philadelphia Freedom = The best Elton John song]

Don't get me wrong... Billy Joel is awesome sauce. But Elton John towers over him as a musician.

But really, Springsteen is the superior musician on so many levels.

I'll take every picture over anything by Joel so to each his own.
