Elton John top 3 songs

[Smokey]

Not a big fan of EJ, but he did manage put out some pretty good songs here and there. Some of his older material is decent but FM radio made them stale due to being over played. So it is touch and go.

1. "Island Girl"
2. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with Kiki Dee.
3. "I'm Still Standing"
4. "I Want to Kiss the Bride"
And may be "Nikita" on a good day

[ForeverAutumn]

OMG. So many great songs to choose from. Okay, off the top of my head without giving this too much thought...

1. Skyline Pigeon
2. Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
3. Levon

[Mr Peabody]

I have to break the rules because I can't make up my mind on just 3.
Madman Across The Water
Rocket Man
Tiny Dancer
Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Levon

I used to love Candle In The Wind but I think I heard it one too many times. The song he did for John Lennon is good as well, is that Garden? Yeah, he has a few good songs.

Empty Garden. I was going to give that one honourable mention. It's a beautiful song.

[Jack in Wilmington]

Gotta agree with The Kid.

Funeral For A Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding -- Great song to show off your gear with also.

Your Sister Can't Twist But She Can Rock-N-Roll

Your Song

[GMichael]

Here is my list.

1) Crocodile Rock
2) Candle In the Wind
3) Island Girl

Special mention: Saturday Night's Alright

There really is a semi-endless list of special mentions.

[ForeverAutumn]

I'm a little surprised to see so many of you list Your Song. I've always thought that song was a little cheesy. You guys are just big ol' softies at heart.

[dakatabg]

My favorites:

1. Candle in the wind
2. Don't let the sun go down on me
3. Beenie and the jets

I have most of his records.

[Mr Peabody]

Funeral FAF is a classic but it's another one of those local radio ran into the ground.

[devuonoste]

Really difficult to pick only 3 songs, as he has so many great hits.

If I had to pick:

Levon
Rocketman
and either Candle in the Wind or Tiny Dancer.

[Troy]

I've Seen the Saucers
Dirty Little Girl
Holiday Inn

And many, many others.

Island Girl? Really?

[Smokey]

Island Girl? Really?

FYI, that was one of most populer song on 8-Track format

[3LB]

Tiny Dancer? I thought it was,

"Hold me closer Tony Dannzzaaaaa"

[GMichael]

Tiny Dancer? I thought it was,

"Hold me closer Tony Dannzzaaaaa"

Hmmm...... If I was a phycologist, I might wonder if....

Naaaaahh....

[Robert-The-Rambler]

Tiny Dancer? I thought it was,

"Hold me closer Tony Dannzzaaaaa"

I believe subconsciously you were thinking of Alyssa Milano.....

Before anybody gets too upset....

The adult Alyssa Milano.... LOL

[MasterCylinder]

Tiny Dancer? I thought it was,

"Hold me closer Tony Dannzzaaaaa"

LOL !
Hendrix in Purple Haze..................

"Scuze me while I kiss this guy"

[Mr Peabody]

In Some One Save My Life Tonight, does he really say Sugar Bear? As in Sugar Crisp before "sugar" became a bad word in advertising to the health conscience mom's. Worst thing to happen to cereal, ever. No more "Sugar" Pops, they ruined Honey Combs, "honey" how healthy does that sound, leave it alone. If you can't give it flavor, give us sugar! Wow, I think I just snapped, excuse me for that. I feel better though, I think it was buried down deep for decades.

Good to see you checking in and nice call on Tumbleweed. I bought a nearly perfect vinyl edition in Austin last year, and the Indie-hipster kid behind the counter gave me a snooty look during my check-out. If he only knew how good this is...
