Arguably one of the best double albums ever !!!
No fillers at all
One of the greatest popular albums ever released.
it is incredible album
Some of the best tracks come from this album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Benny and the Jets, Harmony, Candle in the Wind just to name a few.
This is probobly his most successful album aswell
And of course the best tracks… Funeral for a friend/ love lies bleed!
Elton would agree, making it the name of his final tour.
Crocodile Rock. Bennie and the Jets. Saturday night's alright for fighting. Next please❤
This was a Double Album, as many don’t realise, or may forget due to CDs.
Some other great albums too, like Madman Across the Water and Tumbleweed Connection before this that made him, were exceptional.
The opening track of this album is an absolute must. "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding"
I agree. Funeral for a friend and loves lies bleeding is EPIC
The entire album was incredible when it came out, with the artwork and printed lyrics helping the listener grasp every bit of this iconic album
The only doing that really needs to be heard from this album is Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding period…….
I had the privilege of seeing Sir Elton live in concert several years ago his Live Shows were to die for . He did 4 Hours NON STOP using only HIS MUSIC and then did and encore of 30 minutes . What a Talent
I've seen him twice and yeah 3 hours each time.
I saw him in 2015, and I think I amazed everyone around me, because I knew the words to every song he sang! He was spectacular, and so was his band!
It is "THE" album, perhaps his best. Thank you Elton John and Bernie Taupin. 😍🥰Bernie is unfortunately forgotten far too often, without Bernie Elton would never have got to where he is today. They simply always belong together.
This is some of the best of Elton John!
Got the single record then, guess it was in 1974. He ist beside Michael Jackson IMHO the biggest male solo artist in Rock biz !
Elton John's music I always felt like it reflections of his life, and how he feels about insecurities. He had a turbulent childhood. He dealt with drug addiction, tried to commit suicide. Had a relationship with his co-writer Bernie Taupin.
I'm a 67 year old grandfather and it's refreshing to see young people not only giving the music that i grew up a chance but appreciating it
согласен с тобой бро , мне 64
Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, it's about giving up an excessive rich life and going back to the farm. It has some tones of a break up too along the back to my farm roots, "you can't plant me in your penthouse, I'm going back to my plow." Bernie was from the country so you will always see this sort of theme, especially in one of Elton's best songs in my view, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, about coming to New York City and it wasn't the great place he thought it would be.
this description should help them a bit.plough(uk english)
"Honky Cat" is VERY about him coming from the farm.
I think every bit of the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is about disillusion with the life he always dreamed of. Of course, richness is part of it. But it's more like fame, success and (yes) fortune don't make you feel like "this is it". They come with a lot of confusion and insecurity. How can you plant your roots in something you don't know how long will last? You basically come from the safety and love you had at home and go to the unknown, with unknown people and their unknown intentions.
As everyone will surely tell you there is an almost unbelievable catalog from Elton and Bernie Taupin. Just take a random pick and you won't go wrong. Along with any album cut or live version, I highly recommend looking up his appearances on The Muppet Show. The music performances with the muppets are priceless. Have fun diving into Sir Elton John's music.
Try some of Elton's early work to get a feel for him "Tiny Dancer" "Levon" "Rocket Man" "Madman Across the Water" Elton composed the Music ,Bernie Taupin writes the Lyrics. One of the Great Songwriting Teams!
That being said, they should listen to "Harmony" from this album. It's one of those hidden gems, which I discovered as the B-side to "Bennie & The Jets" as a kid. 😎
I haven’t seen anyone mention “Daniel”. I remember standing on the blacktop at recess in fifth grade going over the song in my mind while I was trying to memorize the lyrics. Great song.
Someone else mentioned that he sang a few songs on “The Lion King”. He actually wrote several, with lyricist Tim Rice. He sang “Circle of Life” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” but not for the movie soundtrack.
If you’ve ever seen the movie “Almost Famous” you might remember the scene when the characters are on the tour bus and someone starts singing Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” and everyone else joins in. It’s a great moment in a great movie.
'Daniel' one of my faves, that song and 'Crocodile Rock' got me into his music, 1972. Good choice!
He won an Academy Award for his Lion King song: Can You Feel The Love Tonight. He had 3 nominations for The Lion King. Bernie didn't write those lyrics Tim Rice did and Elton John wrote the music. It's on his channel. So is the Circle of Life.

I named my son Daniel because of Elton John. Saw him 5 times he ages like a fine wine.✌️🌻🌻
@@Oldschoolnana I should have named my son Daniel, I almost did but Idk why I didn't. Good name. Named him Joe instead after my granddad.
Nobody in the comments has recommended "Your Song" an early Elton John hit(maybe his first?). That was my intro to him, and when I hear it, still brings back great memories
Your Song is magic.
Your Song is my favorite Elton song.
It was on the radio so a couple of friends heard he was in town so we went to see him there weren't 200 people there he opened with your song when it was over we knew he was on his way to being one of the greats
He has "Your Song" from 1971 where he sings it live - video from Top of the Pops (English television show) on his channel. It's really pretty amazing such good quality video still exists.
th-cam.com/video/GlPlfCy1urI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ng1x5Tet_sspnzHN
Absolutely one of the greatest songs of all time, no question.
Elton John writes the music. His lyricist is a poet called Bernie Taupin. Some very poignant songs. This song is about not chasing the dream and living a normal life, you are quite right
It’s a bit more like “Hey, MGM! - Stop telling me what song to write or I’m going back to my roots and you can do the other thing.”
one of the greatest pop songs from one of the greatest pop artists
Here are some Elton tracks that are absolute FIRE! "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting", "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is epic! "The Bitch Is Back" and "Bennie And The Jets".
Other great songs are "Rocket Man", "Tiny Dancer", "Your Song", "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" and "Someone Saved Me Life Tonight".
Agree. I like his older stuff too. Although I must admit it, I don't know that I care for the later stuff that started coming out in the later 70s and 80s. Starting with the big "hit" he had with Kikey Dee(?).
Love lies beleeding always blows my mind. I love it. What a way to start an album
Love the entire “Captain Fantastic “ and “Caribou “ albums!
Only the Beatles have more songs on my Spotify list than Sir Elton John has. Great artist. Every single song on this album is good, not a bad tune in the bunch.
Check out 'Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding' next. 11 min of awesomeness.
Cheers.
In 2019, Billboard ranked him the greatest solo artist of all time (third overall behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones). Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and ranks among the best-selling albums worldwide. He has sold 100 million singles worldwide, making him one of the biggest-selling music artists ever. He has had 57 top 40 hits in the United States, with 27 of these hitting the top ten and 9 reaching number one. He has so many songs that I love.
Elton has a lot of deeper meaning in his songs
Or Bernie had!
Gotta give credit to the lyricist for that…Bernie Taupin.
Elton John was the artist of the 70’s. Had hits into the 90’s. “Philadelphia Freedom “, “Benny and the Jets” are two of my favorites. Sir Elton John has collaborated with Dua Lupa in recent years.
Fun fact - Philadelphia Freedom was a song he wrote for the legendary tennis great, Billie Jean King
'Your Song' is his signature song, the first song hit he had and many would regard it as still his best.
On collaborations - the live duet with George Michael 'Dont let the sun go down on me' is incredible.
Funeral for a Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding.Epic Song!
Elton's Pinball Wizard from the Rock Opera "Tommy" is also a classic and worth a listen
This was the first double album I bought with my own money and I practically wore it out. Not a concept album but the songs did tell a story from the beginning to end. I still have it and I suspect there are still a few seeds and stems in the fold.
Elton was wild, he wore outrageous costumes and glasses, he was very good friends with Freddie Mercury. Angelina does her version of this song. Elton has so many great songs so be sure and do some more.
Great reaction, as always. I would suggest "Candle in the Wind" or "Rocket Man" as your next visit to Sir Elton.
"Rocket Man" needs to be the 1972 Royal Festival Hall live version. The song for Princess Diana was "Candle in the wind" a song Elton wrote about Marilyn Monroe, with changed lyrics. Bernie Taupin wrote the new words in 2 days.
Also Madman Across The 😊Water
@@PennYanTV - This song. Yes ... my favorite Elton song.
Love Lies Bleeding (Funeral for a Fridnd), Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me, Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Your Song (favorite of mine). The list goes on and on. There's so much for you to explore with Elton John.
This has always been one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I have ever heard.
He had many hits I really like "Rocket Man" 😊
For a really long time, I knew one of my uncles “worked for Elton John” but it was never explained to me until last year (I’m 29 btw). I learned my uncle was his personal assistant for a long time. He told me stories about him and Elton’s friendship and funny stuff. My mind was blown. He said Elton is an amazing person and he loved his job. Love your guys reactions, keep it up 🤙🏻❤️
I feel old. It's hard coming from a time when Elton John was a household name like Beyonce, Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga to hear a younger person say they know very little about him. The particulars of why this is so, I don't know. It does make me happy that there are people such as yourselves that are interested in discovering the greatness of music from the past, especially those that had profound influence on music for generations that followed. So, thank you for listening and helping to ensure the greatness never dies.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time, up there with the Beatles. I promise that each of you knows at least 5 Elton John Songs and don't know that it's him. His songs are so well known by every generation I'd be shocked if that wasn't the case.
Elton John wrote the music and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics .They were song writing partners. Were have Y'all been to not know of Elton John. You hit the meaning behind the song right on. Thank you Great song! There are many more..
This entire album is total fire!
One of my favorite Elton tunes! Early live performances of Elton are amazing way to experience his amazing talent. Studio versions are great too. My short list: Your Song, Tiny Dancer, Rocketman, Honky Cat, Bennie and the Jets.
Road paved with gold - leaving the artificial high life!
Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding is by far my favorite elton john.
I didn't think it was possible to find adult humans who aren't familiar with this legend. Open the floodgates and listen to a few dozen more of his iconic hits.
Elton John won a scholarship at the age of eleven and went on to study classical piano at the Royal Academy of Music for several years before focusing on rock music.
Elton John is for me one of the best singer. I wait for more reaction of Elton John songs. Greetings from Poland
Ps. Please do react of Elton John burn down the mision Live version
One down, about 100 more to go, down the Elton rabbit hole
He is the definition of awesomeness, especially live. Thank you
Q. Can you write down some good Elton John songs?
A. Can you get me a ream of paper?
I think you will love an older tune, Madman Across the Water, brilliant piano, watch live 1971
A great artist, his childhood was rocky, his parents mistreated him. But he broke through and became one of the best artists ever!
You nailed the meaning of this song! He has so many interesting songs for you to explore! You won't be disappointed.
Loved it. Please do more Elton. Candle in the wind is the big seller when Princess Diana died, changed from Marilyn Monroe to her but there are so many good tracks 👍🇬🇧❤️
Great reaction. My favorite Elton John song has always been Philadelphia Freedom.
You can't go wrong with any song by Elton John. I know most of his hits will be recommended multiple times here, but I want to suggest one that probably won't get mentioned as often. 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight' is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite Elton John song. The first time I heard it, something just clicked for me. I think it might have been where I was in my life at the moment. To be completely open, my girlfriend and our relationship at the time probably had a lot to do with why the song touched me like it did. Still, its an amazing song!
You two continue to kill it with your genuine reactions and your great insights and thoughts. Looking forward to the next one as always!!
Thx for sharing chase! Music means so much more when we can make a connection with it. Sometimes songs a perfect for the moment we're are in!
Right on! Either may number 1 , perhaps number 2?!?! Great suggestion!! There’s a video of him performing Someone, at Central Park to one million people.
Excellent song. Just excellent.
Elton John was fire when Bernie Taupin wrote his words 😂❤
Saying a favorite song from Elton John is a waste of time because he has a platinum song for every emotion so how your feeling determines which song is the best.This song is about fame, and how the cost of it can be to great . This double album has been the top selling double album of all time for a reason.
I think a song you must have heard in movies and such is "your song". It's a classic you should definitely react to 👍
Awesome that there are sooooo many great 70’s Soft Rock songs ❤ made by so many bands and artist. 😊
The pinnacle of artists. 👍🏽
I will say that Bernie Taupin is the Genius, behind Elton John lyrics and alot of the Arrangements.
Elton John has so many big hits and you will find more if you play more!
I remember when this song came out... I loved it immediately and I taught myself how to play it on my acoustic guitar... Elton John is a good rabbit hole to go down.. Decades of great music there... Great reaction again guys... See you on the next one... Keep being awesome !!!...
Brings back memories of a MUCH BETTER world.
Great reaction, Sam and Phil! Elton John and Bernie Taupin have a vast ocean of amazing music that millions have soaked in for decades. I was fortunate to see him perform live twice.
A fake reaction its staged
Bought Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 1973 from Petticoat Lane, London and still love and play this album today.
Good luck with the Elton rabbit hole.
Legend.
A beautiful masterpiece
Best album ever!!
My sister saw him in concert she said he puts on a fantastic show of course his talent shines through
It's been said that there were/are people if they come anywhere close to where you live you Need to see in concert. For just how amazing it would be. Elvis was one. Not that I am old enough to have enjoyed that. Elton John is another. I believe Cher is also on that list. Elton John has always been unbelievably amazing! Live or/and in studio!
Never worried about the meaning, I always just loved the song!
fantastic song fantastic LP his best
This album is a masterpiece you need to listen to the entire album and many many other songs; Elton plays the hell out of the piano, he writes the music and Bernie writes the lyrics on the majority of his albums
I'm not a big Elton fan, some of his hits are corny fluff...but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album is a masterpiece!
Arguably the greatest rock star of them all ...he has more talent in one of his discarded toe nails than most people have in their entire family tree going back 1000 yrs
One of my favorites on this album is Funeral for a friend/ Love lies bleeding.
His first 10 albums are essential listening in Elton's extremely deep dive. My top 3 are Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy. Enjoy the ride.
This is a HUGE rabbit hole, guys! One of the biggest artists of the 70’s…..mainstream pop/rock……absolute incredible writing team of Bernie Taupin (lyrics) and Elton John (music). Fantastic piano player, wonderful and agile voice, gorgeous melodies…..and great musicians in his band. His music was everywhere. I would suggest one of his biggest hits, Tiny Dancer, for your next listen.
Mad Man Across The Water
...and Honky Cat ...are my favs.
Benny & The Jets ~studio version is so incredible . It makes you wonder how the production evolved.
Elton the genius. Every bit as much as Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, etc.
This was a double album. And you open it up and it had all the lyrics to all the songs. Definitely need to enjoy it with the lyrics
Elton John songs always have a euphoric, nostalgic vibe to them. Even if you didn’t grow up when they came out, they speak to you. Give you a sense of longing and bring back memories. Crazy what music does.
Elton's voice was higher then. He had a fantastic falsetto. He had to have throat surgery in the late '80s to remove polyps so that affected his vocals. He's a fantastic talent so you can't go wrong with anything he's made.
You need to listen to more of Elton John, he has a huge catalog of songs. Try Rocket Man, or Tiny Dancer, or Candels In The Wind, or others to many to mention. Danial is a good one too.
Elton John had a string of fantastic hits. You can't go wrong. He also was in The Who's movie version of the rock opera... Tommy... playing ... Pinball Wizard...
This was a great album I had it 😀He is a wonderful performer 😀
Elton has one of the best song catalogs in music history and as a huge fan of his since 1970 here are five of my personal favorites. "Mona Lisa's And Mad Hatters" "Levon" "Rotten Peaches" "Someone's Final Song" "Tiny Dancer" and "Ticking" !
'Ticking' yes
@@btj-oo8xc Somehow that great song kind of flew under the radar.
When i heard this song as a 10yr old, i loved it....even though i sang the lyrics entirely wrong. It's a bit hauntingly beautiful in a way. His voice was so crisp in the early days...... That's why i prefer his 70s songs. My music tastes shifted when Van Halen released their first 2 debut albums. But i appreciate Elton's soulful style.
Don't forget his great, longtime backing band.
Saw him with Billy Joel, both were great.
Such a beautiful, unique song. Hello…it’s Elton John. You should do “SACRIFICE” official video. I absolutely love that song. It’s amazing. All his songs are great….😊❤
Amazing hearing someone stating they do not know anything about Elton John.
Love this song ❤
IDK how this song seems to people now, but this and "Your Song" are some of the songs that catapulted him to superstardom. He had hit after hit after hit. He was HUGE on the pop charts, a legend. My expectation is that it's hard for moderns to get into soft rock of the 70s, that it would take time and exposure. That's because it has a lot of melody and moderns are focused on beat.
Here's a live version on Elton John's YT Channel of *"Your Song"* from 1971. Downloaded 5 years ago and has over 71 Million views!!
th-cam.com/video/GlPlfCy1urI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2f7aXNa522oxdMmk
Sir Elton wrote all the music for one of the greatest box office hits of all time for a musical. It played Broadway, London's West End, Canada, Australia, and Korea before a record 12 million paying theatre goers. It won 11 Tony awards and 69 other stage awards in eight countries. It is Billy Elliot the Musical. I suggest you watch a video of the signature song Electricity, played by Sir Elton while the boy Billy Elliot dances alongside him. It's a masterpiece of a song, and of choreography. Btw, one of my nephews played one of the Billys on the Canadian tour.
Elton John is, in my opinion, one of the most deserving artists to be put up on a pedestal. He was/is so varied and so imaginative. This probably wasn't the best song as an introduction. The ALBUM has several amazing pieces. Good on ya for opening your door further!!
You were both on the right track. I think it's about the whole music industry thing
I have been to very few concerts in my life, less than 10, but I was very fortunate to see and hear Elton John and Billy Joel together almost 30 years ago at their performance in the Clemson football stadium. I was at the far end from the stage, but who cares? It was still truly awesome.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
That whole album is a masterpiece.
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies ( 73) with Donnavan!!
Essential reaction !!
Alice and Elton ruled the 70's!!!!
Holy Toledo. I can't!!!! Seriously!! He's British! You even knew he was Knighted! I'd recommend (Just for a GLIMPSE!!!) "I Guess That's why they call it the Blues", , " "Blessed", "Blue Eyes", "Your Song", "Rocket Man", "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" . And you MUST WATCH HIM LIVE!!!
I still remember Casey Casem talking about Elton John. He holds the record for the longest streak of years with a song in the top 40. He had at least 1 song in the top 40 each year from 1970 to 2000. I remember when he passed Elvis - which was when Casey brought it up. He's a remarkable person who really overcame some terrible things in his life and still pulled off that record.
He also did a tour with Billy Joel. Another famous rock pianist. Amazing stuff
Fantastic as usual!❤
More Elton
Check him out live. What an entertainer!
