Although Elton irritates me - I was fond of his early albums.

@lindatee @teen Absolutely LOVE this! His early albums were TREMENDOUS! I was bemoaning recently that this generation don't look back at Elton's early work in the same way as they do other artists because of him becoming such a parody of himself in recent years. This album though, Yellow Brick Road, Honky Chateau, Don't Shoot Me, all BRILLIANT records packed with extraordinary songs. Great Jam, great video too. Thanks for this :)

Not really a fan, but don't mind this one.

@HaveACuppaTea @BertrandRustles @lindatee I'm not much of a fan of Elton in general, but thought this was a fun clip on Soul Train with his green outfit singing Benny and the Jets.

@teen I believe you teen! I'm sure all those Elton John posters you have up on your bedroom wall are just there to hide the wallpaper.

But remember, you should really get rid of your Elton John wallpaper as well...

@teen Yes, certainly a sparkler, but also was a serious musician! Have to agree with @BertrandRustles. Did you know Reg auditioned for King Crimson? (Didn't get in, but that's beside the point.) Rick Wakeman played mellotron (and I think he did too on Madman Across The Water.
