BEAUTIFUL SONGCRAFT,
By
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
All Elton John's early 70s masterpieces are collected here, from the elegant and sensitive Your Song and Daniel to the bouncy Honky Cat and the fast-paced Crocodile Rock. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting is a rocker in similar vein, while Rocket Man and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are beautiful ballads. Plus the famous Candle In The Wind which had many incarnations - this is the original, but there was a 1988 version too and of course, the Diana adaptation which by now must be the biggest selling single of all time. Although Elton John has created an impressive body of work in the years since, I still consider these songs to be his best. They hold a special emotional appeal for me. I know Your Song has been covered by many other artists but I'm surprised that not more of these elegantly crafted songs have been interpreted and taken up the charts by others.

Good for the die hard but not so for the casual listener,
By
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
How can you review an album? Especially a greatest hits one by the legend that is Elton John.
If you've never heard of him or his music I suggest you crawl out from under the rock you've been living under and buy this album. The biggest down side to this album, and many greatest hit albums for that matter, is they tend to spread the songs out over numerous cd's. Although there is probably not a bad song on this album your favourites will be spread across numerous discs which can be frustrating as you tend to find you're listening to the 'weaker' songs more then the genuine greatest hits. If you're a huge fan of the queen of pop then I whole heartedly recommend this album. If you have a flirting interest with him there are other greatest hit albums out there by the great man, which have less of the filler and more of the good stuff. One or two disc sets that maybe more suited to your needs.
