Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy

Songs From The West Coast
3.  Songs From The West Coast by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Elton's most recent studio album is also one of his best. A return in sound to the stripped back approach of the Honky Chateau days. Contains one of their all time greats: This Train Don't Stop....."
£9.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

Tumbleweed Connection
4.  Tumbleweed Connection by Elton John
The list author says:
  "One of Elton's most consistent albums. Bernie's American fascination led to an almost old West concept album. Lyrically and melodically sublime."

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Madman Across The Water
5.  Madman Across The Water by Elton John

  "Luscious string arrangements have often been accused of being overbearing, but I think they're the perfect accompaniment to the soaring majesty of Elton's melodies."
£5.77   Used & New from: £2.93
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Elton John
6.  Elton John by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Elton's eponymous 1970 LP was the first step on his climb to superstardom. It is still a classic after 33 years, with its eclectic mix of styles and arrangements."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.42
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Honky Chateau
7.  Honky Chateau by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Usually overrated and cited as his greatest achievement, this is still one of the best. Contains Rocket Man which really launched him as a pop star in the UK, as well as the sublime Mona Lisas..."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.65
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player
8.  Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player by Elton John
The list author says:
  "My personal favourite. Has a moodier sound than most of his albums. Features evergreens Daniel and Crocodile Rock as well as gems Teenage Idol and Have Mercy on the Criminal."
£4.99   Used & New from: £2.21
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Blue Moves
9.  Blue Moves by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Elton's first album for his own label is one of his best. Gloriously uncommercial, this marked the end of an era in Elton's recording career. He wouldn't make an album this good until....."
Used & New from: £9.73
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Too Low For Zero
10.  Too Low For Zero by Elton John
The list author says:
  "....this one! 1983's return to collaboration with Taupin is a landmark record. Contains a fair clutch of hits,but most notable for hidden gems One More Arrow (achingly beautiful) and Cold as Christmas"
£5.39   Used & New from: £3.47
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Breaking Hearts
11.  Breaking Hearts by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Elton followed Too Low with another classic, which improves with each listening. It's masterstroke is Burning Buildings combining a majestical soaring vocal with just the right amount of melodrama"
£5.29   Used & New from: £3.50
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Made In England
12.  Made In England by Elton John
The list author says:
  "A little over-produced, but it was the mid-90s and that was the trend. The best of Elton's 90s albums by a long way. House and Cold are stoundouts, as are the hits Believe and the title track."
£9.49   Used & New from: £0.01
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)
