Elton John is definitely rock. In the mid-70s when KY-102 was at it's peak they had a TV advertisement and Elton John was featured right along side Led Zeplin, The Who, Pink Floyd and all the other bands of the day.
His Greatest Hit Volume I was issued by the US government to every kid, right along with Rumors, Frampton Comes Alive, Boston, Hotel California, etc.
My father-in-law got all bent out of shape when he heard the song "The Bitch is Back", just like parents do nowadays.
It is just a distortion to not consider Elton John to be rock.
