Elton Vs. Billy: The Battle of the Piano Men - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nighthawk76 · 09-10-2008, 02:46 PM

Who do you perfer, Elton John or Billy Joel? This is a tough one because both of these men are legendary and have turned out a lot of great music. I think I am going to go with Elton though. During the first half of the seventies he reached a leval of greatness that few ever achieve. I have to say though that Billy comes across as a nicer man.

Billy Joel by far. I don't think there is a song that I have heard from him that I didn't like.

I like a lot of Elton's songs, but I have to go with Billy Joel here. I DID see them both perform together in Cleveland about 5 years ago, and the show was awesome. Those two put a lot of "current" acts to shame.

I have to go with Elton on this one.

I concur. Sir Elton John is one of the best performers ever.

Oh man is that hard!!! Those are my two favorite artists... I'm even listening to Elton right now.

Despite my immense love for Billy Joel, my marching band even had a Billy Joel/Movin' Out show one year, I have to vote for Elton. Every single song I've heard from Elton I have loved, where as for Billy I do love a ton of his songs but there are few that just don't strike me.

Me too! Elton is awesome in concert! I saw him at Madison Square Garden back in 1982, and it was wonderful! My dad was a huge fan of Elton John!

like both but Elton John better

Nighthawk76 · 09-11-2008, 12:36 AM

Elton is really kicking Billy's butt in this poll.

I thought that it would be the other way around.

You should of had an option on the poll for Both- cause I like both. I like a lot of Elton Songs but the BJ songs I like are really good and are catchy, good tunes. Both are classic, great acts and respectable men.

I like both too. The poll is to pick which one you like better.

Wreckless · 09-12-2008, 05:06 PM

Ok, I'll go/I went with Elton.
