    Billy Joel is cool in a heterosexual way

    Elton John is cool in a non-heterosexual way.

    Discuss.

    Billy Joel writes his own music and lyrics. Elton John collaborates on lyrics with Bernie Taupin. Therefore, Billy Joel.

    Can't really say, I really don't pay attention to the music being played on elevators.

    Love both, really hard to say. Would give a slight edge to Elton.

    I was stuck in the airport yesterday for 8+ hours and someone started playing "Just the Way You Are" on the piano and I was instantly picked up.

    Billy Joel.

    plus he doesn't remind me of Richard Simmons.

    I love Elton John as much as any heterosexual man can love a homosexual man that he doesn't know.

    (Would have liked a choice for Jerry Lee Lewis, though.)

    I'm shocked that Elton John is on top of Bill Joel in this pole. :eek:

    I can't believe "I hate both" isn't winning by a landslide.

    Elton John at one point recorded some really really great songs.

    I almost like some Billy Joel songs, but there's always one or two lyrics in almost every song of his, that is corny, melodramatic, or just over the top in a way that ruins the whole song except maybe to kind of chuckle at.

    So I picked Elton John.

    liking more songs from billy joel puts him ahead.so voted billy joel.

    Elton john loses points for the lion king and candle in the wind song he stole from himself and little ryan for diana.. thought that was cheesy. still like elton and diana just sayin.

    Here's my favorite from elton john:

    I like them both.

    I had to go with Billy Joel. Two of my favorites are "A Matter of Trust" and "I Go To Extremes". Too bad he stopped recording...
