I find all of Elton John's material to be irritating, unsubstantial, pretentious, phony, dull, condescending and ingenuine. I don't care if the guy is a flaming poof or not, his music is nothing more than pop fluff piano crap for the masses. Not my cup of tea. I hear his music on the stereo and I leave the room. I hear his music on the radio and I flip the dial. End of story.
