Elton john is a musician and entertainer before he is a raving, flaming homosexual activist.



Not that there is anything wrong with any of that.

The 'greatness' of classic Elton John can't really be considered without realizing that most of those old songs were written by Bernie Taupin.

Can't have one without the other, really.

His music, Sir Elton John, is incredible.....he also has his Nighthood, which should not be taken lightly.

Didn't he write a song about Marilyn Monroe, and later do the same song for Princess Diane? Candle in the Wind?

I think he is brilliant

Heraldry and titles do nothing for me, sorry.  I had ancestors die fighting the British to do away with that crap.

If you were born after 1980, Elton John sucks.  I was born in 1980 and Elton John sucks.  He looks and sings like he has downs.

I like one song of his.  Funeral For A Friend is pretty good.  Everything else sounds like everything that was wrong with music pre-1980.

He sucks worse than Phil Collins.  To suck worse than Phil Collins, you pretty much have to snort an 8-ball of shit daily.

Opinions are like rectums.  



Phil is an animal on the drums.  Yeah, Genesis was better with Peter Gabriel on the vocals.  But there is a reason Eric Clapton had Phil on drums a few times.



Next thing you are going to say is Slow Hand sucks and really piss me off.

Elton is one of those "must see" performers.

For as good as his music is recorded he just blows the roof off when he plays live.  And yes, get your "blows" jokes in if you must.  

I could care less that he is gay.  The guy flat out rocks.  He can sing, play the piano, and put on a live show that will leave you wanting one more encore when the house lights finally come up.

Can't wait for the version about Col. Ghaddaffi..

"Goodby Col. G,

We wish we never knew you at all.

You terrorized your own folks,

and made the airliner fall.

I'm really glad your dead.

The rebels, they found you..."

Judas Priest is one of my favorite bands.  Have seen them many times live.  Rob Halford is supergay.  No issue.  All the dickguzzling keeps him in 3 octaves in his 60's I guess.

Rob Halford would kick Elton John's ass.

He is a flaming homo, but the man is a musical genius.

What does Elton John like better than roses on his piano?








Tulips on his organ.

I too am a huge Priest fan.  And while I hate to derail this thread further, I still remember being totally SHOCKED when I found out the Rob Halford was gay.  In looking back at the old Priest videos I have no idea how I could have missed it.  All that leather, choker collars, guys standing up in a Caddy convertible dressed as such and pumping their fists.  It seems obvious in retrospect.  

I don't care who could kick who's ass, they both rock.

Back to the thread at hand.

Taupin writes the lyrics, John writes the music.  Story is they can't be in the same room with each other but are smart enough not to let that stop the collective creativity they both share.  It's a win, win.

I like EJ's early music, from the late 60's to about the mid 70's.  Everything since then has been kinda "meh".

Dunno if it was a result of his lifestyle choices or not, but after "Blue Moves" his music sucked.
