For Candle in the Wind, I'm including both the original and the 1997 rewrite for Princess Diana. Of course, being the biggest hit doesn’t make it the best remembered, but it was still the highest selling song of all time for what that’s worth. I’m personally going with Rocket Man though.

I went with Tiny Dancer, probably the best showcase of Elton John's immense talent and innovative song construction IMO. I can definitely see the arguments for Rocket Man and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, though.

My favourite Sir Elton John record is "Sacrifice" but I reckon his signature song is "Your Song." Sir Elton and Bernie's music is phenomenal!

I went with "Your Song", but my favorites are "Sacrifice" and "The Last Song".

Well Rocket Man is the name of the documentary and the big sample in Cold Heart, so it’s pretty obvious

It's funny that "CITW" has essentially been a hit 3 times over yet isn't his signature hit.

I'd say "Rocket Man", though a case could be made for "Candle in the Wind", or even "Your Song". "Rocket Man" is definitely my favourite one.
