Top 10 Elton John songs
Elton John
Elton John has had a great amount of success since the 70's. While he rarely wrote the lyrics to his songs (most being written by Bernie Taupin), his music is some of the best you'll ever hear. I know he is sometimes called the "Rocket Man," but that song actually isn't in my Top 10. If you're disappointed, watch this video of William Shatner's version Here.

Madman Across the Water
Madman Across the Water by Elton John is my Favorite Album of all Time
For most of us, the music of our teen years has special meaning. For me, it was the 1970's. Elton John was very popular in that decade and his album, Madman Across the Water, is my favorite of all time. The songs Tiny Dancer and Levon were hits for John, yet the other songs on the album complement the introspective theme, showcased by the incredible lyrics of Bernie Taupin. Today, when I hear the song Levon, I wonder if it will still move me the same way when I am 80 years old. If you don't...

Top 10 Elton John Albums and Songs of All Time
This list of my top 10 Elton John albums is a tribute to the artists. Elton John is the most iconic pop singer of the 1970's and 80's, and continues his success today. Still touring and now writing music for both opera and movies, Sir Elton John has more than left his mark on modern music. I first saw Elton John at a concert in 1984, on his "Breaking Hearts" tour. I was never so moved by such a small band (only piano, guitar and drums) for three hours of pop music fun. The most surprising th...
