@MilesStone92 yeah but be reasonable. Elton probably hasn't had a hit since Tiny Dancer nor did he have one after that album that "changed his life". All of Elton's greatest tunes were cowritten with other people.
He's a diva who's been living off the same 3 or 4 songs for over 30 years. People's perception of "great" is distorted by media and rock magazines. The "greatest" artists of classic eras only kicked ass from anywhere from 2 -5 years tops. What's so great about that?
@amritaherbs What you say makes sense. However, Elton has multiple records that have never even seen the inside of a radio station. I do agree with what you said, about how people's perception of "great" is distorted by media. But the media only knows the radio hits. The songs on Honky Cat that never got radio play, the songs on Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy that the masses never knew existed. Or how about Tumbleweed Connection? THOSE are great.
@motimon3 do you have any idea what you're talking about? Or are you one of those types that just puts random nonsense up? Tiny Dancer? Really? Stick with miley cyrus and the jonas brothers.

BTW--is it Ryan Adams on the back cover (red tennis shoes) of Elton's Songs from the West Coast?

to hear elton john tell me that my album changed his life, would be fucking insane. i'd be so happy i could die right then and there.
