r/EltonJohn

Thoughts on Peachtree Road?

For me it is a rather uninteresting album, would be in the bottom half of a rankings list.

All That I’m Allowed (I’m Thankful), Weight of the World, Too Many Tears, and Answer in the Sky are all solid tracks, but they are the only 4 I like.

How would you rate this album?

What do you think of Elton John's soundtrack of Dreamworks' Road to El Dorado?

Thoughts on SFTWC? In my opinion this is a very good later-career album, with some excellent tracks.

Of course I Want Love, and This Train… were the biggest hits from this album, but there are arguably even better songs hidden in the album tracks!

American Triangle is a haunting ballad type song, Dark Diamond a song of defiance in older age, Original Sin is a definite highlight, and Look Ma No Hands very good also.

What are your favourites from this one?

If you don't know, make a guess!

I didn't think it was going to be this hard, but 90% of his albums are just great for me. My top 10 are:

1. Goodbye yellow brick road

2. Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy

3. Honky Château

4. Elton John

5. Tumbleweed connection

6. Madman across the water

7. Caribou

8. Peachtree road

9. Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player

10. Who believes in angels?

Honorable mentions: Songs from the west coast, The one, Sleeping with the past, 21 at 33, Blue moves...

Your's?

Great song in its own right.

The only ones that I know he said were favorites of his were the ones he said on Colbert: Someone Saved My Life Tonight, We Fall in Love Sometimes / Curtains, Your Song, and Blessed (not fucking Crocodile Rock that’s for sure).

Are there any other songs that he has said that are favorites of his, whether they be hit singles or album cuts?

I ask because Elton is playing at Rock in Rio in September, and like every big concert you always wonder what the songs that are going to be performed. In this case, given Elton’s age and health problems, this might be the last big show that he does unless he does something in Japan since he didn’t tour over there for the Farewell tour either.

The songs I want Elton to perform are all the ones he loves and enjoys singing/playing. As shown above, there’s a mix of hits and deep cuts in there. So what are all of Elton John’s favorite Elton John songs?

Thoughts on this one? I have seen mixed reviews but personally I rate it quite highly.

Something.., Long Way from Happiness, the title track, The End Will Come, and If The River Can Bend are all solid tracks with some big choruses.

What are your favourites, and not-so favourites?

Thoughts on this one?

A mixed bag for me, with some strong tracks (Made in England, Latitude, Believe, Pain) and some rather average ones (Belfast, Cold)

What are your favourites/least favourites?

Nice video

I am always surprised when I listen to 'Runaway Train' that it was never released. Great song by two legends.

1. The one
2. Someone to belong to
3. Sweet painted lady
4. (I'm gonna) Love me again
5. Nikita
6. Your song
7. Rocketman
8. Tiny dancer
9. All that I'm allowed (I'm thankful)
10. Tower of babel
