Subject: Which Elton John song do you like best?

Written By: dance4fun on 02/09/07 at 9:20 pm

I had a real hard time with this as Elton is one of my all time favorite artists.  I voted for Tiny Dancer, but The Last Song is probably really my favorite

I think my favourite is "Nikita" from 1985

which featured guest appearances from George Michael (backing vocals) and Nik Kershaw (Electric Guitar)

I remember that one, I liked it, too.  Wasn't the video taped in Russia?

Elton has so many good songs. from the list I chose
Your Song
& then
Tiny Dancer.

I would have added to this list my favorite which is: Rocket Man  & my list would also include Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) & Someone Saved My Life Tonight but the songs on your list dance4fun are all good and obviuosly your favorites.

Out of the ones you listed I chose...

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me



My favorite Elton John songs are Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word and I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues.

Crocodile Rock and Little Jeannie get a mention, too.

That is a good one too.  My favorite line from that is...It's four o'clock in the morning DAMN IT listen to me good...

Once again, I'm going with the crowd and voting for Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, but my favourite isn't actually up there.  I like 'I Want Love'.

I chose "Your Song," but I also really like the "Chloe/Etude" from that 1981 album of his.

I agree. that's the best line & I always smile when I hear him sing that knowing I've had many 4ams in the morning like that, all pissed off and depressed at the same time

Can't choose just one from the list.  Although one of my faves is not up there; Mona Lisas and Madhatters.

From the list you wrote, Daniel is my fav. I also like Crocodile Rock, The Bitch Is Back, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Empty Garden, and to save space, a whole lot more of his music.

No not all my favorites.  I did not list every song that Elton John did, because there are so many good ones.  Personally Rocket Man is one of my favorites by him, too.  When I do these polls that doesn't mean the songs are my favorites, I just compile a list-----there's a difference.  I believe my question was out of these Elton Johns songs, Which one is your favorite.  Just with past experiences with these polls I think it would be easier to start a thread like "What's Your Favorite Song By Elton John?"  Then there would be no need for a poll, right.  Oh well, you can't please everybody.  There's always somebody griping about something around here, I've noticed.

I picked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", which would've been followed by "Benny and the Jets" and "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues".

Out of the choices you gave, I picked 'Daniel'...

...but my all-time favorite EJ song is 'Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word'  :)

Definitely The Last Song - it's just gorgeous.  A lot of people don't know that one, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that you included it.

I adore Elton John - it's difficult to pick a favorite because he has SO MANY wonderful songs.  :)

  Actually, I am rather partial to the older hit "I'm Still Standin"  Tho I voted for Benny& The Jets.  The radio here plays Daniel and Tiny Dancer and your song plenty but I like the quickness of "Jets" best of what was listed.

I like all of the ones listed, but my favorite not listed is Mona Lisas and Madhatters. Actually, I like pretty much all of his songs, since he is my favorite artist.   :)
