View Full Version : Elton John Cactus Jack 05-06-2004, 08:31 PM QWho here is a big fan of him? I am! Im been downloading his songs, hes awesome , my fav song by him is probably Saturday nights Alright For Fighting or Crocodile Rock or Tiny Dancer AKA 05-06-2004, 08:34 PM I dig his most of his '70s stuff, and some of his early '80s output. After that, his catalogue has no appeal to me (my loss, adult contemporary radio's gain, I guess). That is, until 2001's excellent Songs From The West Coast, which recaptures that early Elton John/Bernie Taupin appeal. jamesanthony 05-06-2004, 09:23 PM I only like certain songs by him like: Philadelphia Freedom- GREAT record Don't Go Breaking My Heart- really fun tune Little Jeannie- makes you really believe he was in love with some woman at that time in his life Rocket Man- great metaphorical writing Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word- his singing here is very good His more modern records don't do anything for me.

It's a little of everything from pop to album rock to prog Funeral For a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding is a great tune!

Also, check out his collaborations with John Lennon - John's Whatever Get You Thru The Night, and Elton's cover of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, in which John is a guest. Both are killer. :thumbsup: |
