My mom had every EJ album on 8 track up to this one and on my 12th Bday I got a white Panasonic single speaker 8 track player and her EJ tapes, David Frye "Radio Frree Nixon"😂-- and a lot of albums including a Beatles White Albun and an original "Yesterday and Today" which I had little interest in - Hey,:I was twelve and had been into Bachman Turner Overdrive and Black Sabbath for a couple years. And I had discovered pot a year and some earlier and enjoyed it often and in large quantities. 😂😂

August 1975. I met my Dad, outside his place of work. It was my 18th birthday. Dad gave me a fiver. 'Go and get that LP you've been going on and on about. And bring me the change'. £3.25 worth of vinyl, from Ali Baba's record shop, on Walton Vale in Liverpool. And I played it to death. Still in my 'top 10' albums of all time.

The Best is my Mom would not let hang the poster that came with it because of the Nude Girl. I still have the original poster also. This is the ONLY Album from any Performer that I listen to that EVERY I LOVED every SONG on the Album. We all had albums from just about anyone we loved and listened to that there was 1 or 2 Songs we didn’t like. Again this album Start to finish did NOT have a Song I DIDN’T LIKE.

Elton's words from a Rolling Stone interview, 2013: "Every lyric on Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy was about Bernie and me, about our experiences of being able to make songs and make it big. I cry when I sing this song (" We All In Love Sometimes"), because I was in love with Bernie, not in a sexual way, but because he was the person I was looking for my entire life, my little soulmate. We’d come so far, and we were still very naive. I was gay by that time and he was married, but he was a person that, more than anything, I loved, and the relationship we had was so odd, because it was not tied at the hip. Thank God it wasn’t tied at the hip, because we wouldn’t have lasted. That relationship is the most important relationship of my entire life. In a way, years later, I ended up being Captain Fantastic and he ended up the Brown Dirt Cowboy: Here, I’m living my fabulous lifestyle, collecting paintings, and Bernie is interested in horses and bull riding and shit like that. We became those characters. Who was to know?” I love Elton's honesty, and the music he and Bernie have created will outlive all of us. How lucky I have been to grew up listening to their compositions, since 1970 when I was in first grade. I didn't know it then, but this music would become part of the soundtrack of my life. God bless Elton and Bernie. ❤❤❤

Nigel was one the drummers that awakened the drummer in me at the ripe age of 12. Drove my parents crazy playing with Elton John and the Moody Blues for years. Nigel's style is recognized not only when he is playing with Elton but songs like November Rain has heavy Nigel influence throughout the song. I'm 59 and I still listen to Elton and the Moodies everyday of my life. Music has saved my life on several occasions. It's like an unconditional love that will never leave you and certain songs actually touch your heart 💜 and you know the artist wrote that song just for you. What an incredible gift to have that effects so many people universally.

I've seen Elton 9 times live since '92. One of those shows happened on 10 Oct. 97 in Winston-Salem, NC, which was the first night of "The Big Picture" tour. It had been a little over full month since Elton had performed the revised version of "Candle In The Wind"/"Goodbye, England's Rose" at Diana's funeral. I think most of us adults in attendance at the Winston-Salem show knew he wasn't going to do "Candle" that night, or for awhile at that. The second song of his encores was a Beth Nielsen Chapman song called, "Sand & Water", then after that the closing songs were the combo of "We All Fall In Love Sometimes" & "Curtains". They even sped up "Curtains" towards the end & then slowed it back down to its normal speed. I didn't think I would ever hear either/both of these songs live, & they were absolutely flawless. Simply incredible.

I got this vinyl in 1977, when I was just 16 years old. Another was Grand Hotel by Procol Harum. I was fascinated by bot of them ...

This album made me remember those years, when I was in High school at late 70s, when I was a irreverent teenager, like many of my generation, those happy years, unforgettable !

A timeless classic. One of my favorite songs by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

I love this song. Every time I listen, by the time *"Curtains"* is over, I'm bawling like a baby! 😢

This is the first album I bought with my own money. I played it until I wore right through the grooves. It’s still in my basement, but unlistenable now, so I had to buy the CD 20 years later. I loved everything about it including the artwork and the little graphic novel that came with it. I saw EJ one of his final shows last year and was so happy to say this was “probably my favorite album we’ve ever done.” His masterpiece.

I saw him at Purdue University in 1980 for $10.50! Sixth row.

Every song it’s on adventure musically and lyrically what a team! We all fall in love is one of the best on here and one of their(Bernie and Elton) best. Such sad chords and words to make you cry. Blending it with curtains just makes it all fit with the piano at the end of we all fall.
