I had just gotten my driver's license when this album came out. I was a proud young man of 16, driving a 1965 Rambler Station Wagon that I payed $20 for. I bought an 8 track player for $25 and the first tape I bought was "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". I bet I put 100,000 miles on that rig listening to that tape. Things were very different back then. Those were "magic times". This record will always hold a special place in my heart.

This album plays like a greatist hits album... all by itself. I can just play it over and over.

Nothing more can be said about GBYBR. I truly feel it is one of the top ten albums of all time. Of course, I also think EVERY album he did before that and up till Rock of the Westies is damn close!

@1963DMC1 Agreed Brother! My musical taste has changed-constantly-as I've aged but Yellow Brick Road stayed strong in my top 5 through the decades & changes! What a wonderful, eclectic album. Pretty much embodies the wildly eclectic 70s & wide open FM formats of the time!

Hands down favorite song by Elton. One of my proudest moments as a kid in the 70s was learing to play this all the way through in time w/the record. Hell, I learned to play (after getting booted by my piano teacher) by playing along w/his records! Anyway, amazing how his early stuff holds up. This STILL gets my blood pumping! Gotta go play me some air piano!! Peace music fans!

Children, do some googling. "Grey Seal" (originally recorded and released in 1970 as the B-side to the UK-only single, "Rock and Roll Madonna"). I was listening to the song on a Brit compilation import in 72

One of the greatest albums (double) ever. Love this song. Wonderful lyrics. Every song on this album is fantastic (pun intended capt.).

@toilanguoimy Your parents were "Too Cool" God bless them for caring enough to expose you to "The Good Stuff" I'm 56 and listen to Elton when it first came out- (Didn't like a thing after "Yellow Brick Road"---He went nuts and started doing top 40 am rock) ie."Bitch is back" "Phill Freedom" and "Little Geanie" YUCK!--- Bruce from Bilosi Ms.
