1. Benni and the Jets.....Hands down, the best he's got.
2. Saturday Night's Alright.....Can't picture this guy in a fight. Hilarious!
3. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.....Always wondered, is this a Wizard of Oz reference?
4. Philadelphia Freedom.....Patriotic feel on a big hit.
5. Rocket Man.....Love the "gonna be high as a kite by then" line.
6. I'm Still Standing.....I just dig the beat. Stellar lyrics too.
7. The Bitch is Back.....Powerful tune.
8. Crocodile Rock...Have a friend who hates this song. I likey.
9. Levon.....Great singing on a song I'm surprised isn't even more popular than it is.
10. Island Girl.....I still have the 45 of this since childhood. Shh, don't tell.
11. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.....Better than The Beatles did it.
12. Pinball Wizard.....Not better than The Who, but respect is earned on this version.
13. Honky Cat.....I'm wearing thin on what's left to choose from. And who you calling honky?
14. Daniel.....Not normally my taste. I have no idea why I like it.
15. Funeral For a Friend.....I like the tempo. It's a song that builds as it goes.
UNDERRATED SONG: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.....I think it's one of his better songs...and his singing skills stand out.
OVERRATED SONG: Candle in the Wind.....It's a downer if you think about the content and who it's about.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: One Horse Town.....Gimme a break. It's a decent pick.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: Um....never owned any of his music except a couple of 45's so this is another hard pick. I'm going with "Yellow Brick Road".
