“Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” wins Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by a landslide! 🏆
Next up: Caribou (1974). This one took a fair bit of flak from critics, but still kept Elton’s run of No. 1 albums going. What’s your favourite track?

“High Flying Bird” takes the win for Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player! 🏆
Next up: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973). Elton’s best-selling studio album, packed with iconic hits and beloved deep cuts. The deep cuts have been beating the hits quite a bit in these polls, so this should be interesting! What’s your favourite track?

First up: Empty Sky (1969). What’s your favourite track?
It is Eltons sixth song with 1 billion Spotify streams.
Ich habe in einem Klavierstore E pianos getestet und wurde wirklich sehr kompetent beraten. Allerdings gibt es das gleiche Klavier, welches der Store für 3800€ verkauft online für 3450€. Ich möchte wirklich den Einzelhandel unterstützen und bin dankbar für die Möglichkeit Klaviere zu testen. Allerdings finde ich 350€ Differenz für die gleiche Leistung schon ziemlich heftig, besonders weil ich Student bin und keine 3k Netto verdiene. Was würdet ihr an meiner Stelle machen?
Only I’m Still Standing and Cold Heart have higher numbers at the moment
Elton has called "Heartache All Over the World" his worst song. So, out of curiosity, I gave it a listen, and I have to say that large parts of the album feature some really good melodies. Of course, it doesn't compare to “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, but it is by no means a bad album. People who enjoy Elton's ballads or breakup songs, in particular, should give “Leather Jackets” a chance. There is some valid criticism: cheesy '80s synthesizers, Elton's voice isn't in top form, and—in my opinion—there are three boring tracks (Leather Jackets, Go It Alone, and Angeline). However, the rest of the album is consistently Elton at his best; Hoop of Fire, Gypsy Heart, and Paris stand out to me in particular. So definitely give “Leather Jackets” a listen—it is most certainly not a second Victim of Love!
