My vote goes to Elton John. I just never got into Billy Joel.

Early 70's - John
Mid-late 70's - Joel
Early 80's - Joel
1983-1984 - Tie, love both of their stuff equally around this time
1985-1988 - John
1989-1994 - Joel
1995-present - John

Overall could not actually choose one over the other.

This poll is very hard to choose.

Same here. 

I've seen them both in concert...and they're both prodigies, IMHO!  8)

The better piano man?

Russ Conway, of course!  ;)

No...I'm afraid I can't really choose either...both of their outputs are equally as fine!

I missed the vote, but I would have voted Elton =)

I have just about every 45 he put out in the 70's

I like them both, so it's pretty hard to choose between the two.

They are both piano men and great performers.

I dont own a single solitary Joel cd yet I have seen him in concert 5 times (once with Elton).

I have seen Elton live several times since the 80s.

He actually played here last night in a stadium a street away from my place. I couldnt afford the tickets (credit card is still recovering from the Police concert!) so I strolled down and listed to him outside the stadium along with thousands of other people. We stood in the pouring rain !  Elton was as soaked as we were !
