 | Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.67 Quite simply one of the greatest albums by anyone.
|
 | Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.78 More dense and intricate than Elton's later, more poppy work, and all the better for it. Every track is great.
|
 | Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.20 Hard to appreciate fully on first listen but eventually reveals it understated genius. 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight' is wonderous.
|
 | Tumbleweed Connection by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.79 Let down slightly by the tepid 'Love Song,' but this imagining of the old West is Elton's first truly great album.
|
 | Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.21 Great to hear Elton fumbling around with classic pop posturing after his complex early albums. An immediately satisfying record.
|
 | Honky Chateau by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.69 A fitting chapter closer for early Elton, Honky Chateau contains 'Rocket Man' and one of Elton's finest ever songs, 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.'
|
 | Blue Moves by Elton John
Buy used from: £19.48 Patiently melodic double album with fantastic instrumentation on every track.
|
 | Songs From The West Coast by Elton John
Buy new: £0.50 / Used from: £0.01 Perhaps a couple too many songs, but contains some wonderfully-realised musings of the poignancy of older life. And America.
|
 | Elton John by Elton John
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.85 Elton's challenging second album can be a tad overbearing at times, but 'Your Song' and others announced the arrival of a new force in pop music.
|
 | Caribou by Elton John
Buy new: £4.90 / Used from: £3.04 Nothing even approaching a bad song here, but most of the album is overshadowed by it's standards, 'The B*tch Is Back' and 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.'
