is Elton John's finest am definitely coolest album. If you disagree, you're just wrong. there's not a bad track on it. Great production by Gus Dudgeon and a beautiful folksy, funky vibe.

Yea, it is one of his best. I think Amoreena might be his most underrated song. I love the vibe of the music.
Only thing holding it back is the all too occasional cheesy lyric from Bernie Taupin.

Amoreena is my favorite Elton song. This album is fantastic

Definitely one of the best. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has to be his GOAT though

Totally agree. Amoreena, Country Comfort and My Fathers Gun are phenomenal. Like that version of Madman Across the Water the best too.

Honky Chateau is my personal favorite, but Tumbleweed is great.

This was my position for at least a decade. But now I'll give a slight edge to Madman Across the Water. And Honky Chateau is in the same class. All three are excellent.

Burn Down the Mission is tGOAT
Posted on 4/14/18 at 5:46 pm to The Boat
Love that one too

11/17/70 GOAT

Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

11/17/70 is transcendent, no doubt.Have listened to it countless times
Posted on 4/15/18 at 5:52 pm to VOR
I’d have to give the slight nod to Madman but I wouldn’t really argue . Where to no St Peter kills. That and Amoreena and Burn down the Mission are an almost religious experience for me.

I'm probably alone in this, but my favorite Elton album will always be his first one.

i had that one but don't remember the cover. wasn't released in the US was it? had a part sounded like a guitar track being played backwards.

My favorite too along with GYBR.
Love this song-- Come Down In Time. Sting did a great cover of it on an Elton Tribute album in the 90's.

Elton John, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Wonder RULED the record industry like kings during this period, so many transcendent albums recorded

MCA released in the US in '75, right in the height of his popularity (after Caribou and before Captain Fantastic , about the time "Pinball Wizard" was a hit...in other words, after he transitioned from being a talented musician into being a pop star.
Full disclosure: I liked him better when the music overshadowed the persona.

Totally agree. Amoreena is probably his best song ever. And his live versions of those songs on "11-17-70" are classic.
Burn Down the Mission

I remember hearing crocodile rock at the assembly center and thinking there it is--he's going for the bucks
