Ya know, early-70's Elton John was pretty fucking good |
|
I have no idea why his music became so craptastic around the late-70's...

6. Border Song was way underappreciated |
|
Man I love that song and his voice was probably at its peak.

I like most of his stuff from the Madman and Tumbleweed era. From 75 on or so, I have liked some of his songs, but not as much as from the early 70's. I was just an infant when his best stuff was out. Luckily, I discovered it as an adult. That music was pretty progressive.

8. How many songs have you written and performed? It is NOT easy to do that well, |
|
and sustain it over the course of 20 years.
Trust me one this.

I also liked Yellow Brick Rd. After that -- not so much.
