From 1970-75, he was great! Ill defend those songs to the death.
Now he is a washed up media whore. But he also has a billion dollars, so what do I know?

He actually still puts on a really good show... I went to see him a few years back and we got there like 45 minutes late, i kind of assumed we had just missed a lot of good stuff, but in fact we walked in as he finished playing the last song from the newest record... then he proceeded to play another 2+ hours pretty much playing everything you could ever want to hear (except for Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, which kind of broke my heart cause that is one of my favorite songs ever).
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
I loved him up through Captain Fantastic ... everything since has been rubbish, imo. I saw him once in the 80s, which was when he was already deep into his rubbish phase, but he put on a great show, mostly older stuff. It was a lot better than I expected it to be.

I fucking like Rocketman. I heard that today on the radio. Fuckin' awesome song. I don't care if he's gay.
But I doubt the line: "I miss my wife"
truly a post by a male, 17.
why would it matter if he's gay? you thread title should just read "I like Elton John" without the "fuck everyone"
but on a personal note, I don't care for Elton John. never really could get into his songs. not that he's not good, he's just not for me. and he's a little too stuck up his own ass for my liking
sidenote: I've often thought what the heck would happen on this message board if one of the Pearl Jam guys admitted to being gay. people would be going apeshit with threads defending them, bashing them, etc.

You should of seen what happened when a few of the posters have said they are gay. Mostly positive, but too many nagative(and sometimes very nasty) posts toward those posters.

yeah 'someone saved my life tonight' is a great song. however i can't help but chuckle out loud whenever hearing it out now. knowing it's about elton john and bernie taupin's newly found 'admiration' for each other kind of ruined the lyrical aspect of it for me.

Didn't know what it was about. Why I love PJ so much in allowing to keep the interpretations of their songs to the listener!
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
right on. ed is one of the best lyricists of our time - yeah i said it. as for the elton john bit, i was unfortunate to learn of that on some tv show like vhl classics or some shit.

I,too, can never get into his stuff. I always preferred Billy Joel's music before he married Brinkley. He's hit or miss after that.

Oh and with Billy Joel I love screwing with "Just the way you are"
"I couldn't love you, Eddie Vedder, Not after you went and stole my car!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
"What's your name?"
"FUCK YOU! THAT"S MY NAME!"

I like old Elton John too, but then, I think Madman Across the Water was the first record I bought as a kid--and I play the piano.
I don't like much past Yellow Brick Road though...
