'Crocodile Rock', I vividly remember this being played to death at every party around Christmas 1972...
...from the same LP ('Piano Player'), 'Teacher I Need You' was a corker...

Tiny Dancer. On a related note, I love the scene from "Almost Famous" where the band sings an impromptu performance of this song.

Out of these, I'd either go with "The B**ch Is Back", "Your Song" or "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." I'm guessing "Honky Cat" was made after 1974.

Some other MAJOR Elton John songs (besides the poll) between 1970 through 1974 include:
Rocket Man
Honky Cat
Daniel
Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (I know it continued into '75 but it debuted in '74)
:D
That being said, my vote goes to 'Bennie And The Jets', but only by the most miniscule margin. Kudos to Elton John for having among the most beloved catalogs of all artists from the 70's decade.
