We are spinning Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleediing atm and will be for a while because this song goes on forever

What if I were to tell you that I've never heard this song and that I've never listened to an entire Elton John album front to back?

I love the man, but I haven't taken the full dive into his work yet. I know and love all the big singles, of course.

If you haven't heard Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Tumbleweed Connection and Captain Fantastic, you're missing out. I would consider those his most essential, though every album up through 76 or so has a clutch of great songs.

It's a great song, really, you should hear it.

I'm not a huge fan of any one album of his though.

Pretty much agree word for word....

 

[Imperor]

Tumbleweed is easily one of my favorite albums ever. Essential listening.

 

[No spoken words]

Go figure.....

Spoiler

I actually knew that but it's funnier to make cheap western/cowboy related "jokes". HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I don't think I'll ever, ever in my life hear or read the word "tumbleweed" and not think of the opening sequence of Joel and Ethan Coen's THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ask me how many songs I've written that were partially or completely inspired by the hit ABC Family teen mystery/drama show Pretty Little Liars.

 

[bono_212]

How many songs have you written that were partially or completely inspired by the hit ABC family teen mystery/drama show Pretty Little Liars?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Two. I've written two of them.

One is called "Four Spirits" and the other is called "Troian Bellisario". Neither of them are really all that good, or totally finished. Sketches, really. They're both pretty slow and dark, though. Which I think works well for the subject matter.

 

[LemonMelon]

Two sketches would be enough for several U2 albums.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

When is that fucking new U2 album gonna come out?

 

[LemonMelon]

October, I guess. Last I heard they were putting the track listing together, which means it's time to fire Danger Mouse and bring in Steve Lillywhite.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Lillywhite never payed much attention to Larry's drumming back in the 80s. For this he shall pay.

 

[Danny Boy]

Lillywhite is great at finishing an album for better or for worse. The La's would still be tweaking their album if the label hadn't brought him in as the closer.

If you haven't heard Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Tumbleweed Connection and Captain Fantastic, you're missing out. I would consider those his most essential, though every album up through 76 or so has a clutch of great songs.

I would add Madman across the Water and Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player to that list as well. The latter alone would best the greatest hits collections of many other artists.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'll check all those out at some point. Thanks.

"Daniel" has always been my mom's favorite Elton John song, so I'm pretty fond of it as well, so I should probably check out Don't Shoot Me.

I should not check out the David Space sitcom Just Shoot Me, because it blows.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Also, if anyone else is really tired of my over-caffeinated posting patterns today, I'll be stopping soon. Heading out on the town. Saturday night's alright for fighting.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Yes.

And his axe!

David Space

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hahaha, David Space! I fucked that one up.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Quite a few things, really. Nobody's perfect.

 

[No spoken words]

Once upon a time, Philip Humber was.

 

[cobl04]

My favourite Elton John song is All of the Lights, followed by Super Rich Kids.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Once upon a time, Philip Humber was.

You know how sometimes one is so captivated and thrilled by a sporting event that they just scream uncontrollably?

Yeah.....

 

[Danny Boy]

My favourite Elton John song is All of the Lights, followed by Super Rich Kids.

"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" for me.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

As cliche as it might sound, mine is definitely "Your Song". After all these years.

 

[bono_212]

"Tiny Dancer", no contest.

 

[No spoken words]

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is mine.

 

[LemonMelon]

Tiny Dancer, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding or Amoreena.

 

[iron yuppie]

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is mine.

Good call. It's probably mine as well. Skyline Pigeon I would say is his most underrated song.
