Yep, at school my best mate was a huge Billy Joel fan and was subsequently subjected to much ridicule because of it. Only now can I appreciate how magnificent he is. Elton John seems to be portrayed as the best singer/pianist but Billy is miles better.
Elton and Billy are often placed in the same category, simply because they both play the piano. But the truth is that they are "miles" apart. Billy Joel has a more bar man feel to his playing. It's a little less sophisticated than Elton's.
Billy Joel even said that Elton John "kicks my ass on piano" in an article he wrote about Elton for Rolling Stone Magazine
