Who is better: Billy Joel or Elton John?

[David Lee]

I had an argument with my friend on who was the better musician and who was more famous. I figured that we could settle this on the planet? I definately think Billy Joel is better and more famous. Just wondering what you guys think.

Rick James > ( Billy Joel + Elton John )

elton john has much more world wide fame than billy joel. everyone knows elton john cuz he's gay and he's got mad skillz on the ivory. billy joel is a good artist, but limited to america

[Muttley]

Agreed, I'd give Joel the nod for skills, but John the nod for popularity. Something they both do well, though, is have first names for both of their names. They excell in that field.
However, as a mathematician I feel I it is my duty to correct you Ziggy.

James Brown > Rick James > (Billy Joel + Elton John) > Captain and Tennille

[davcbow]

No one mentioned ABBA?

I think Lionel Richey ranks up there with those 2 also....

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Phil Collins >>> James Brown = Billy Joel > Rick James > Elton John > Captain and Tennille

FIX'D

[ziggy]

The Artist Formerly Known as Prince > ( Billy Joel * Elton John) + (Phil Collins * James Brown )

Captain & Tennille = Boy George = Vanilla Ice

[Muttley]

Peter Gabriel > Phil Collins > Mr. William Joel > Rick James > Elton John > Capt. n Tennille

Prince + James Brown >>> everyone else, including all of you and me too
