My advice, listen to Elton John up until the 1970's - and stop there!
Except that they did 'conventional pop' (what's wrong with that? most things have conventions) when they were younger as well, they were just more consistently good at doing it.

Ballad of Danny Bailey? Roy Rodgers? Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding?

I'm not sure that it has a single terrible track and for a double album that is really unusual.

One of the most brilliant pop musicians of our time for sure. He was a fountain of creativity back in the days, spilling out melodies for immortal songs like Your Song in a matter of minutes. Not enough of the younger crowd today acknowledge or appreciate his genius, I think!

don't like 'em. I hate cowboys and songs about cow boys so can't listen to RR.I hate gangsters and songs about gangster so can't listen to TBODB. Funeral for a friends just a mess plus I hate songs about funerals...and friends for that matter.

I love Elton John.
I love how he once said:

"There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats"

If it's as a person, then that wouldn't relate to me as I just want to look at his music as music. Other people may have other agendas but I prefer to just judge the music on it's own terms apart from other issues.
