I just finished writing an advance story on Elton John's visit Friday to the Spokane Arena, and I was reminded of how many of his songs have become instantly recognizable standards. It's hard to think of a contemporary performer with more.

So I thought I'd throw out the question: What's the best Elton John song?

I'll kick it off by sayihg it is undeniably, unassailably, "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting."
