My favourite Elton John songs are Daniel (my brother is named after that song) Tiny Dancer, and I'm still standing (which was written by Elton's lyricist Bernie Taupin as a gift to Elton after he beat drug addiction and made a comeback - listen to the lyrics). If you ever get knocked down or defeated somehow, listen to I'm still standing. I also really dig the guitar solo on that song: it's simple, but works really well.

EDIT: After I made this post I put on an Elton John record. Call me what you will, but I am an Elton John fan (well, the music at least - the current incarnation of the man himself seems like a bit of a wanker). One of the things I like about Elton John is that even though somebody else writes most of his lyrics, it's Elton John that pus music to them, and that is arguably what makes the songs (incidently the songs he wrote by himself and not with Bernie Taupin's lyrics are not as good).

EDIT 2: Rocket Man is another favourite.
