‘Total Entertainment Forever’ from the new Father John Misty album sounds very like the title song from Captain Fantastic to me. he’s way more influential than i think he’s given credit for.

Madman Across the Water is genuinely one of the best albums ever.

Saw him at caesars palace in vegas a couple of years back, great fun :grinning:

People probs don’t want to be put in a bracket with him because he’ll outclass them every time. The number of hits is insane.

Agreed. Sitting around in PJs and listening to Elton John on a Sunday morning is something I miss.

Never bettered The Music For Princess Diana for me.

Oh no no, wait, The Lion Cartoon.

Yeah got a load of great songs

Does anyone have any idea what ‘Passengers’ is all about?

The first 6 tracks of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are phenomenal.

The title track’s his best.

Yeah. Although I was listening to Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding the other day in awe of how great it is. This Song Has No Title is also hugely underrated.

Love a bit of Elton. Crocodile Rock :heart_eyes:. Don’t ever want to hear Your Song or Don’t Go Breaking My Heart ever again tho.

I would also like to issue the daily reminder that Bernie Taupin also wrote We Built this City on Rock and Roll

Crocodile Rock is unfairly maligned.

He’s brilliant. ‘Daniel’ is a masterpiece.
