Elton John???

   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)

	"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 !

	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.

	^ 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.
