Old Bands Round 1 Elton John vs. Guess Who

[ZebraRampage]

Elton John



Rocket Man

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time...



Guess Who



American Woman

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come here hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come here knocking around my door
Don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come here hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away, now go go go
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Gotta leave you, woman
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look at you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Goodbye, American woman

If I'm not mistaken....isn't that the guy who wrote the lyrics for Elton John?

A good person once said:

" Someone will win this music battle, its just a matter of Who."


I'll leave it at that.

He meant the Who. Not Guess Who.

And i dint mean that the guess who would win. Derp. Don't assume things.

I was referring to the who. Notice how i didnt put in " its a matter of guess who"....derp.

I just felt the need to say it now, while it was fresh in my mind.

Your patience ran out one day too early. The Who is going against Cream today, so I suppose you can say it there.

Yes.

[Classic Rocker]

The Guess Who..I'm not a big fan of Elton John

[Dyne]

Elton John's songs are too mushy for me. Besides, American Woman rocks.

Your unconventional choices don't impress me.

You can either keep fighting the normal until you're exhausted or you can just give in easy and start making the same choices the rest us make. What's it going to be, Mr. Different?

[DimHalo]

I thought the whole point was that he voted for Elton John because of Bernie's music...

Or are you making a joke and I'm being stupid?


blonde moment over, continue discussion

Basically..Elton John wouldn't be where he is now without Bernie's lyrics.
