Elton John fans

Love me some Elton

Like most of his 70s and 80s output, not so crazy about 90s past 1995's Believe. Have seen one concer of his from 2008 in which he had his 70s band and he played most crowd pleasing favourites. Not bad but not worth the nearly $400 we paid for the tickets.

I think as a person though, he is a complete diva and prima donna and I don't like bratty camp behaviour.

Albums and songs I like

1. Elton John - 1970 the quality of this early album is amazing and he sings with such warmth in every song, a hippy classic.
2. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 1973 - Near perfect mid 70s album, every song is great.
3. 2 low 4 Zero - 1983 - Elton's attempt at Princebonics works well, this is a meticulous album, Cold as Christmas, Crystal, I guess that why they call it the blues
4. The One 1992 - A great album and a perfect coming out album, yet the tracks "When a woman dosen't want you" and "Understanding women" seems out of place given his newly declared sexual preferences.

As you can see after Bowie he is my favourite British artist and in my Top 10 of all artists.

I really need to listen to his discography. I absolutely love the songs most have heard of and I love his voice. For me one of the best vocalists ever.

That's Why They Call It The Blues.
Circle Of Life.
Nikita.
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael).
Kiss The Bride.
Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.
