#71. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

71. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John (1973) 90/100.   I suppose if you look at one album that you could attribute the most fame to Elton John's (I refuse to call him Sir Elton John, just seems corny) career, it would be Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.  Look at the song titles on here, Candle in the Wind (the Marilyn version, not Princess Di (Diana would have been 12 when this album was released)), Bennie and the Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting - it is practically a greatest hits album in itself.  However, most of my favorites from here aren't the popular tracks.  I like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, that has been a favorite for years but Grey Seal, Dirty Little Girl, Social Disease are all solid tracks.  Overall, there isn't a bad song on here even if you aren't a big Elton John fan.  Listened: 3/5/2011.
Favorite Tracks: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Grey Seal, Social Disease
