About once or twice a year for the last 40 years I've got this sound stuck in my head all day, I love it, beats the shit out of getting Humming Bird by Seals and Crofts stuck in there.
From Tumbleweed Connection to Yellow Brick Road was an absolutely amazing period of creativity for Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Then drugs started to change things. But, even though he turned out hits and continued to write brilliantly(e.g. the Broadway success of Billy Eliot) afterwards this is the period when his creative flame burned the brightest.

As brilliant as Elton's music is, Bernie's lyrics are top notch!

This is by far Elton Johns Best album....... Every song is Great !!!!! I cant say that about any other album he had.

Out of all the music he put out that is relevant to me (up to about 1975 or 1976), this is his masterpiece album!

One of my favorite songs on Honky Chateau, has a great beat and a stunning solo by Jean-Luc Ponty.

Elton became the best pop export the UK ever had after the Beatles. This is surely an example why.
