Brave of you to admit that.

The Ballard of Danny Bailey, From Yellow brick road is my Number 1

Sacrifice is my favourite, always loved that song.

Can't argue about his song writing skills etc, but for me personally I find his songs too long! I think it took about 8 100 mile round trips to the Valley to get through the greatest hits album!

Sacrifice is my favourite, always loved that song.

His peak to Sacrifice 18 years approx.
Sacrifice to present 22 years

Frightening where the time goes

I was thinking the same with David Bowie.
Space Oddysey 1968 approx - Let's Dance / China Girl 1981 approx = 13 years
1981 to date = 31 years.

Too Low For Zero
Tonight
Song for Guy
Border Song
Funeral for Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

So pleased that just about everyone on here speaks well of him....he's an easy target to have a pop at.......but as has been said his ability as a musician, song writer and vocalist are top drawer. Seen him live quite a few times, going right back to the 60's as an unheard of. He did his apprentiship alright and his talent shone through.....and of course let's not forget the incredible talent of Bernie Taupin and his role all those years ago.
Rock on Elton old son.....rock on!

Where've you been Mr. W? I've missed your rational and informed input on the football threads.

I've heard Elton John has split up from David Furnish.

Apparently Elton found out that his partner had been having sex behind his back.....
