agree.
not so much 'I guess that's why they call it the blues', as it gives me the shits somehow.
there's plenty of great stuff by ej.

Excellent stuff - I can't say I have the emotional space for it now, but in the 70s his music was often a relief if you found yourself having to listen to daytime Radio 1.

I liked quite a bit of his early 70s stuff. Favourite is probably Crocodile Rock.

I am going to do what I loathe in others and say....nah, I never really dug an Elton John song like.

I was at the time obsessed by passengers.
I think he actually looks cool in this video. I just watched it now for the first time

Rocket Man with the cartoon was great a couple of years ago
I’m not particularly a fan and have never bought or listened regularly to any of his music. He’s a bit like Rod Stewart in that respect: he’s part of the U.K. fabric of music that would create a gaping hole if they weren’t there, regardless of being a fan.

I've been a fan since 1969, between then and now, he has produced some absolute gems, and some utter dross, in common with most musicians with a career of this length.
Individual tracks are almost too numerous to name. but:
60 Years on
Where to now St. Peter
Indian Sunset
Nikita
Love song
Holiday Inn
Tiny Dancer
Levon
Burn down the mission
Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding (I used to play that whilst blazing along single track roads at insane speeds
)
Your song
etc etc etc...
I am surprised no one has suggested this as his all time best.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I've got a lot of time for elton from when his voice was still good. Lately I've been enjoying the Dua Lipa song that samples two songs (cold cold heart, rocket man)
ElizabethofYork
Old Crone
This song is just beautiful.
Disappointing

It's the old gateway drug argument, isn't it?
In fairness, knew a few people over the years who definitely relied on it and it could lead to antisocial behaviour, but overall, most were at ease with the herb
Perhaps it just didn't suit Elton?
Legal marijuana one of North America’s ‘greatest mistakes’, Elton John says
