Elton got joints. I kind of understand why there's not much love for him on here, because his shit must be in every dollar-bin and thrift shop in the US - at one point in the 1970s, Elton John was responsible for 2% of all records sold [i]in the entire world/i1 - but the man has written some genuinely deathless pop music.
Shouldn't the real question in this case be: where do you stack your John in the Elton File? img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pasue23is.gif" alt="" /1
Only have one record but ran into a problem again last night with JAMES PANTS. Does Pants qualify as a last name (file under P), or is it a name of a band (file under J)?

font class="post"1b,121b,121That's not much of a reason. Stevie Wonder's 1970's albums are in those same dollarbins and the Strut loves him. b,121b,121(It's worth noting that there was a period there in '74-'76 when Wonder was considered serious competition to John as far as record sales and general superstardom went...)b,121b,121/font1

Actually, it's "Philadelphia Freedom" (remember when Elton was big with black folks for a minute?) and "The Bitch Is Back."b,121b,121But apart from that, the man is HORRIBLE. We're talking Helen Reddy bad. Ain't no classics to be found there.
