Who is bigger Elton John or rod Stewart?

Answer 1

Well, of course I am no expert. However, in my opinion it really depends on how you define the word 'bigger.' No doubt, both Rod Stewart and Elton John have made successful careers for themselves, and have many many fans. They have both sold many records and have 'hit' songs. However, Rod Stewart has been a "sex-symbol' for numerous women, and has had a huge following of fans who have been lusting after him over the years. Elton John, on the other hand, has never had such sex -appeal, and therefore, has always lacked those who would follow a star for such 'sexual-attraction.' Still, although Rod Stewart and Elton John both have performing talent and songs that endure through the ages, I think that when it comes right down to it, Elton John has been the 'bigger' musical hit, so to speak. I think that EJ has sold more records, has had more hit singles, has been seen as the more talented of the two, and has comanded more respect and aplomb as a performer. In other words: Rod Stewart's immense success has been partly because of his singing and performing, but also partly because of his 'sex-appeal' to many. Whereas, Elton John has been the great success that he is, all because of his musical skills (singing, piano playing and performing). In my opinion, the 'bigger' hit is the person who is most successful because of his/her talent and expertise, and not because of any 'sexual attraction. All that having been said: I am a huge fan of both Elton John and Rod Stewart!
