Elton John - Honky Chateau (1973)
For various reasons, I felt a little nostalgic this evening. Before Bowie and T-Rex came along, Elton was my goto artist.

Elton John - Honky Chateau (1972)
Before my tastes became a little more eclectic and sophisticated, I was an Elton John obsessive. This holds some fantastic memories and remains a cracking good record.

Elton John - Caribou (1974)
Being sandwiched between “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy” doesn’t help. To me, “Caribou” it was just another great Elton John record which I enjoyed as much as the others.

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
From 1969’s “Empty Sky” to “1976’s “Blue Moves” (his last great record which I’ve only just began to appreciate), Elton John and Bernie Taupin produced 11 remarkable studio albums.

Elton John - Elton John (1970)
I give Elton’s “Your Song” the same respect as I do for Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. Both fantastic songs released within 6 months of each other, but the albums from which these songs originated were never on my radar until much later.

Elton John - Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player (1973)
It’s been a fucking ridiculous week! A quick trip to Hastings, a week ago today, where I sat with my father overnight and through part of the next day when he finally lost his battle with life.

Bruces's Session - Jun 19
The themes were: Two tracks that you know from the past, but have not played for at least 15 years, And one track that you discover after the session at David’s last week

Elton John - Madman Accross The Water (1971)
One of my watershed albums. As a new college entrant I was now getting exposed to proper, grown up music. Despite this, I still slept and ate everything Reg and Bernie produced.

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (SACD) (1973)
I don’t give a rat’s arsehole what other people think of this record - it’s an amazing record that epitomised the brilliance of growing up in the musical potpourri of the early to mid 70’s.

Elton John - Rock Of The Westies (1975)
One of my guilty pleasures is still liking some early Elton John records. While this is possibly my favourite Elton John record, for numerous and quite frankly unexplainable reasons, this is definitely the end of the line as far as my E.
