^ Seeds ??
Anyway, can't beat the live performance of 11/17/70 as a three-piece (drums, bass, piano), but from the poll, Captain Fantastic is the one I like most. Haven't heard a few very early ones though (Tumbleweed, Madman, Empty Sky....). Don't Shoot Me features some great tracks. I'm not a big fan of his although I have respect for the guy.

I have everything from Elton John to Blue Moves...Except for Caribou and Rock of the Westies... I don't care about anything post Blue Moves.
My husband and I are going to go thru our Elton John collection in an Eight- album tournament with a loser bracket.   It may take a few weekends, but we will get back to you good people with our ratings.  We will use your Poll to seed our tournament... 1 seed vs 8 seed...2 seed vs 7 seed...And so on.   As I write this post it would appear that Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Madman Across the Water are the number 1 and 2 seeds respectively.

"Madman" is like a drug for me ( whereas I still have difficulties with "Captain Fantastic" and can't stand "Blue Moves" as a whole ).
...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock !

Great songwriter who disappeared up his not inconsiderable backside years ago. Regardless, Reg has left behind a treasure trove of great albums. (Voted for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

the album Elton John with the song Your Song on is also a very cool album by the fact to how varied and facinating it is, and all the harpishcord he used back in the day, he was a very good promoter for the classic harpishcord sound and used it frequently.

Hard choice between Madman, Tumbleweed and Yellow Brick Road. Yellow Brick Road contains Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding but I like Madman as a whole better so i guess I'll go with that.

This, and to be even more specific, the track Love Lies Bleeding.

this song is so full of energy and positive vibe, yes some 80s Elton is also quite neat to listen to, I like NIkita best of the 80s songs
