March 28 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

I don't know when it happened, but at one point I realized that there was so much more to Elton John than Candle In The Wind, which is a great but overplayed song, and that incredibly horrible drivel called Nikita (if I hadn't discovered his 70s output, I would never have forgiven him for that). I know my parents had Blue Moves on vinyl, but that's not his finest 70s work. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word is a great song, but that's about it.

But at one point I discovered what I consider his masterpiece: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I still love that album - and today I will be playing the fantastic title track!
