re: Elton John's five best songs

quote:

And I didn't list it, but "Father and Son" has the power to make me cry more than anything I've ever heard.

Had to look that one up. Didn't realize it was the sub-title to "The Last Song" from "The One" album. I saw him do that live in BR years ago--very touching moment.

My best? As many have said, hard to pick, but here goes--and I'm staying away from the obvious here, like "Your Song" and "Tiny Dancer" (although they are GREAT songs!).

The Train Don't Stop There Anymore
"newer" song by Elton, with Justin Timberlake in a cool cameo as the young Elton as the song reflects on his life/career

Come Down in Time
Old one from "Tumbleweed Connection". Sting does a great cover of it--this video is of them both live.

Honky Cat
Love the almost New Orleans style of piano on this one.

Madman Across the Water
His 2nd greatest epic song.

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
His greatest epic.
