I’m sorry but the fact we passed over Caribou without mentioning Ticking is beyond me! It’s single handedly one of the best examples of Bernie Taupin as a song-writer and Elton as a pianist. Probably the most underrated song in Elton’s catalog.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (if this had been a single album I think it might be considered one of the top 10 albums of all time) 4. Honky Chateau (Rocket Man, Mona Lisas... what more can you say) 5. Madman Across the Water (happy 50th birthday - seems to get better with age) 6. Elton John (contains some of the beautiful songs he's ever recorded) 7. The Diving Board (not everyone's favorite, but a mature work that contains some of Bernie's finest lyrics) 8. Songs From the West Coast (Elton going back to being Elton - a welcome return to form) 9. Don't Shoot Me... (any album that contains High Flying Bird and Blues for Baby and Me has to be in the top 10) 10. The Union (touching tribute to Leon and a classy collection of songs)

Good list, I'd probably bump Madman up to #3 and Tumbleweed at #2 and GBYBR at #1. Hard to really choose between them because they're all so good. Agree to put Victim of Love in last place. Our dear Elton John did not need to be singing disco cover songs and putting out entire albums of material that he had no part in writing. However, by 1979, I think Elton was feeling burnout and you can at least admire the attempt to keep things fresh and different as opposed to letting things get stale. I think even doing some writing with other lyricists was a good change of pace and it turned out to be only temporary. If anything, it helped both Elton and Bernie realize just what a special songwriting partnership they had.

Big Elton fan and am pausing at 31 for some comments. I bought Victim of Love for a friend of mine in college (the one who really got me into Elton's deeper cuts). It was the one Elton album he didn't have and the CD was in the clearance bin. It was an intentional gag gift. We were kind of surprised to find that, while not great, it wasn't as awful as its reputation. Empty Sky is clearly showing growing pains as they chase the psychedelic sound. Skyline Pigeon was improved markedly when re-recorded a few years later (also benefitting from Elton's more mature voice) and I have to wonder how well some of these other tracks would hold up with a different arrangement. Jump Up! is one of my least liked albums with songs like I Am Your Robot and Ball and Chain just being too cheesy, but Empty Garden is absolutely one of his very best. I actually love the Duets album. Not all the tracks are great, but they are listenable. Glad you singled out The Power, but True Love with Kiki Dee (released as a single), Teardrops (kd lang), Born to Lose (Leonard Cohen), Old Friend (Nik Kershaw), and Love Letters (Bonnie Raitt) struck a chord with me too.

It has his best song, Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. I would put his album Here and There up there in the top 10. Tumbleweed Connection would be my No. 2 choice and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player is my No. 3. Captain Fantastic, not close to a top 10 pick in my humble opinion. It had the most hype before it was released. By the Way Friends is a good soundtrack and in the top 15, not 22. Agreements. Certainly Honky Chateau is in the Top 10 certainly.
