EJ has absorbed so ... ( 6 months ago by nandomark)

EJ has absorbed so many influences in a short time between '64 to '70, but he has remained pretty true to the basic EJ sound since then.

I know you wrote that comment ages ago but you are so right. Where I come from if you said you liked Elton John you'd be laughed off the street. I think a lot of his stuff in the 80s and 90s is pretty middle of the road (duetting with Ronan Keating for fuck's sake), but how anybody could not like this is absolutely beyond me. His 70s albums are up there with the best ever.

I have to say, fair ... ( 5 months ago by apatheticsquirrel)

I have to say, fair play to the cameramen at BBC during the 70s. They focus a lot on Elton's fingers at work on the keys and at times, it's nothing short of mesmerising

You have to be in ... ( 5 months ago by CineRecon)

You have to be in love or really high to truly appreciate EJ's early work.
The difference is negligible...

No disrespect to ... ( 5 months ago by tonkali)

No disrespect to anything after Rock of the Westies but if you don't any of EJ's work between Friends/Empty Sky and Rock of the Westies then you are truly missing Elton. Amazing talent!

Thank you for being here. How was Abu Dhabi? I would have loved to have been there.

Great song but you can hear the strain in his voice. This would lead to throat surgery years later and his voice was forever changed

True, but I believe many think Elton, Dee and Nigel - in terms of a rock trio are untouchable.

The drink and drugs probably have more to do with it.

Davey hadn't joined at this point. He joined around 1972 during the recording of Honky Chateau.

The only thing ... ( 1 month ago by sadcracker)

The only thing Elton has over Beethoven is Bernie Taupin. Goes to prove that most mortals can bennifit from syncronicity.

I have always loved ... ( 1 month ago by greyseal87)

I have always loved the song Rotten Peaches and everything off of Madman Across The Water. The title of this song always sounded strange to me, but it's the words and music that count. Elton dominates in this performance with his higher register and great percussive piano playing!

It's a damn shame what's happened to Elton's voice since these days.
Aging robbed him of such an incredible gift. :(
