There were a few Elton John programmes on BBC4 last night and I just thought I'd ask :
What is your favourite Elton John song ?
Mine is "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". I think it's just brilliant
Oh yes - you can only choose ONE song !

I don't even own all his albums but the ones that I do have I love many songs on there...
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is awesome and definitely up there.... but i also love Goodbye from Madman across the water, it's so haunting!
Ok, if I have to choose just 1 it'll probably be Funeral for a Friend (love lies bleeding) with close runners up being GYBR, Goodbye, Benny and the Jets and The way you look tonight!

( but special mention for Philadelphia Freedom...whoops, sorry )
or
Sacrifice
Impossible to pick one, but Your Song still stands up well.
Original Sin
Tiny Dancer
Rocket Man
Crocodile Rock
Sacrifice
Are You Ready For Love?
That song is just perfection, powerful and beautiful! Elton's finest right there!

Generally agree that he hasn't done much in the last 30/40 years ..........apart from 'I Want Love' which is a great tune
Was released about 2001

This is my favourite too. Fantastic song. I love Believe too. His 90's stuff was pretty good.
Also Healing Hands - which I always found far superior to Sacrifice.

The last two tracks on Captain Fantastic. I'm picking them as one as they play into one another on the album.
