I'm a big Elton John fan but there is one song of his I can't stand -- Bennie and the Jets.


Yeah, I didn't like it when I first heard it, and it didn't grow on me either.

But if it was the worst song I ever had to listen to that would be okay, 'cause there are lot I actually hate. (none Elton songs though)
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It was like Elton went out of his way to make an awful and annoying song.


"Out of his way"?? :)

I like the guy, but not his music. Except for the original version of Candle in the Wind.

Do you favor any particular type of music Nareed? You must be a tough sell I imagine if you don't like Elton John songs at all.

I love: The Bangles, The Go-Gos, Olivia Newton John, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Laura Brannigan, some of Madonna, some of Lady Gaga, and a few others.

Glad to see you've expanded beyond the eighties.

I do hope Lady Gaga gives proper credit to Madonna for standing on her shoulders.

They are opposites. Madonna is a singer that started posing nude. Lady Gaga is a stripper that started singing.

What's universally appealing about Elton John's music?

Well, I could say a lots of people like his songs.
Pretty sure he's picked up a lot of respect from other talented artists.

But instead I'll post this video from Moulin Rouge with a scene of a non-singer performing one of his songs in a love scene between the poet and the courtesan.

(you can dislike that too : ) Taste is really individual.
