And what's your favorite? If they differ.

Best: Someone Saved My Life tonight. Holy shite what a song.

Favorite: Levon.. Take Me to the Pilot.. too many to list actually.

I do not know which one is best, but Elton is one of my favorite muscicans. The ones that come to mind as favorites are:

Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun of Robert Ford)

No Valentines

Live Like Horses

Tonight

Burn Down The Mission

And while now bittersweet:

Something About The Way You Look Tonight

The One

The words to "Candle In The Wind", originally about Marilyn Monroe, were rewrittten.

ETA: and the song renamed "Good-Bye England's Rose".
