Who cares about Elton John anymore? -

Some old gay man on Youtube.

I remember trying to play the french horn melody from "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on my friend's Ibanez guitar using only pinch harmonics and the whammy bar á la Joe Satriani, making the guitar's tuning my victim in the process. My friend wasn't too happy about it...

 

[OtterParty]

i remember when rock was young

 

[AnOminous]

He's an institution because of shit like the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road double album (nobody has invented anything yet as good as de-seeding weed as double LPs but then it rarely has seeds in it these days), even if he hasn't been actually good since before I was a teenager. And if I ever hear Candle in the Wind re-dedicated to some shit like someone's dead goldfish again, I'm going to brain the guy with his Oscar statuette for The Lion King.

Warms my heart to see grandpa fag's blue glasses.

-Rocket Man is my jam, fam.

 

[Krungus]

lol aids grandpa

 

[TheMightyMonarch]

Eh. I still like the soundtracks to Lion King and Road to El Doraldo so he's not that bad.

 

[millais]

he said he wouldn't perform at Trump's inauguration, so that boosted his recent relevancy a tick

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

Everyone will once he dies. But we tend to take legends for granted.

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I know any Elton John music outside of like Tarzan, the Lion King and Saturday night though.

Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding is one hell of an opener song, and probably my favorite. Of course, it's followed immediately by Candle in the Wind which is the most annoying song of all time.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of the few double albums I can listen to without skipping songs.

Though the album tracks are better than the singles.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Grandpa? Where's your hair?

In all seriousness. I'm not a huge fan of the guy's ballads all that much. And prefer some of his more uptempo songs.

Also, can't forget this gem of a cover:

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Isn't Elton John one of those musicians who was a perpetual hit machine? Doesn't he hold the top record for most hits or is that the Rolling Stones or Beatles?

 

[ShinjiIkariFapBoy76]

Captain Fantastic is my 1# album from him.

Of course, my opinion of John has been shifting lately during and after the election.

He'll always have a place in my heart for his appearance on the muppets:

I used to get him and Al Stewart mixed up. I wasn't a smart kid.

Tarzan was Phil Collins.

On topic, I like this song:
