The Top Ten
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

While I love all of Elton John's albums, this one really hit a chord with me. It was the first Elton John album I had ever heard, and I fell in love with his music after that. "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is one of my all-time favorite Elton John songs. Plus, "I've Seen That Movie Too" is one of his most underrated ballads. Great place for anyone just starting with Elton John!

Elton's masterpiece. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is just epic, remembering Elton wrote the first part while thinking of the music to be played at his funeral, and Candle in the Wind is of course one of Elton's greatest creations. Jamaica Jerk-Off is a funny song, not to mention Saturday Night's Alright and Bennie and the Jets. Well done, Elton and band, and Bernie.

Tumbleweed Connection

Brilliant combination of Country and Blues. Brilliant combination of John and Taupin. Brilliant paradox of no hit single but best song Elton John never wrote, Love Song. Probably the greatest under the radar album of all time.

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

One of the best albums ever. I just love every song and it's definitely Elton and Bernie at their very best.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight by making this.

Madman Across the Water

Tiny Dancer, Levon, and the title cut all on the same album: amazing!

My first Elton John album. A masterpiece...

The Complete Thom Bell Sessions
Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player
Elton John
Caribou

This album is all about the hidden gems that grow on you, Pinky, Dixie Lily, I've Seen the Saucers, and Ticking. Competition is tough at the top but at least in the top 5.

The Diving Board
Honky Chateau

This is just an amazing album from start to finish. "Honky Cat" and "Rocket Man" are absolute classics!
