The compilation spans his second album Elton John in 1970 to Sleeping with the Past in 1989. After the double A-sided "Sacrifice/Healing Hands" single became a hit and the third best-selling single of 1990 in the United Kingdom, the album became an instant smash in that country. It spent its first two weeks at #1 followed by nine weeks at #2, kept there by Madonna's Immaculate Collection. In all, the compilation spent 145 weeks inside the UK top 200 album chart, making a total of 11 re-entries, and it was certified 9 Platinum by the BPI on 1 March 1995.[2]
Bernie Taupin says he has virtually no memory of writing the title track to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, but he does recall feeling he wanted to live a more tranquil existence after experiencing unimaginable success during the previous couple of years. The song takes the iconic imagery of the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz and expresses a man's desire to go "back to the plough" after being planted "in your penthouse." What really sold the song was the stirring orchestral arrangement and Elton's soaring vocals. It's a high point on one of Elton's best albums.

There aren't a lot of Elton John songs that seamlessly fit into Dream Theater's set list, but "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is one. The song (or rather the pair of songs) run for over 11 minutes as the kick-off to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. "Funeral for a Friend" is an instrumental Elton wrote when he tried to imagine what he'd like to hear at his funeral. It fit nicely into "Love Lies Bleeding," so the two songs were combined into one grand suite. It's one of his best live songs, and it's been played at countless concerts even though it was never a single. Axl Rose is also a huge fan, and its influence on Use Your Illusion songs like "November Rain" is crystal clear.

You will have to put GBYBR on the list eventually, surely? It does have some rubbish songs (Dirty Little Girl, yuck; All the Girls Love Alice, just seedy and icky; Jamaica Jerk-Off, number one on the list of terrible white reggae failures) but how the sublime are the best bits, including the incredible opening sequence? And one of the most famous album covers of all time.
Top post, as always.
A list of the best Elton John songs, ranked by fans like you. Sir Elton Hercules John CBE has a humongous catalog, filled with hits, underrated gems, and crocodiles. But what are the best Elton John songs? Whether you're an early Bernie Taupin-era purist, into the sparkly '90s/2000s years, or you just think "Tiny Dancer" is pretty, cast your votes below for the best of Elton John's hits.
It may surprise you that Elton John once released over four different albums in a year. The albums were released between 1970 to 1971 and featured one of his all-time best songs, Tiny Dancer. If you're ready to take the stage and steal the crowd's hearts with an Elton John classic, this is the tune for you.
Its deeply romantic melody and melancholic atmosphere make it a perfect song to play on the piano, such as numerous Twilight music. In fact, it could have been perfectly included in our list of the best piano songs for weddings.
Had the pleasure of seeing Ultimate Elton and the Rocket Band last night at The Hawthorne Theatre and what a fantastic show it was.
The band was introduced on stage by Stuart Epps who had worked with the real Elton, he stated 'quite simply the best Elton tribute you will see or hear anywhere' and he was not wrong.
'Elton' then came on stage in a pink suit and silver sparkly shoes with an umbrella!
The choice of songs spanned 40 years of albums from ballads such as candle in the wind to the upbeat I'm still standing and crocodile rock which got the audience on their feet and clapping along .
The show was in 2 halves with a break in between and was worth every penny, there was plenty of introductions to the songs and banter with the audience.
The Rocket Band were fab and also deserve great recognition .
Please do try to see this tribute act as they are certainly one of the best I have seen and would be great if they would return to Hawthorne Theatre again!
Just a note to saythank you so much for your wonderful performance yesterday. We've bookeda tribute act to headline the show every year for the last 5 years and theconsensus was that you were the best by some distance! Goodness know howwe will match you next year!!!! It can't have been easy performing inthat heat either.
Framed as a story of a man and his son, Levon tries his best to be a decent man while also realising that his son will grow up to resent his father. Since Levon was raised as a pauper, he has spent most of his life making sure he can provide for his family, all while watching his son grow up without having anyone around for him.
I basically get to brainstorm with some of the smartest people (and young people!) in adolescent HIV, sexual & reproductive health, digital health communications, health policy etc to come up with innovative and effective approaches to addressing the needs of young people. I then spend a chunk of time with external partners and EJAF colleagues working out how to actualise the best concepts. 0852c4b9a8
