Goodbye Yellow Brick Road – Elton JohnView More By Elton John Our ReviewThis album is Mastered for iTunes. Having rocketed from the lavish orchestrations of “Your Song” and “Levon” to “Crocodile Rock” in less than three years, Elton John saw fit to make a Big Statement tying together all his musical impulses. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, originally released as a double LP with, yes, yellow inner sleeves, cemented not only his nearly wayward eclecticism but his audience’s willingness to follow any path he trod. Its opening sequence is more or less a sketch of his early career: It begins with a piece of FM-rock-era sprawl (“Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”), segues into the sentimental Marilyn Monroe tribute “Candle in the Wind,” and bursts into full-on Eltonic lunacy with “Bennie and the Jets.” Many cuts (the title song, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” “Grey Seal”) became airplay staples, while others (the manic “Your Sister Can’t Twist (But She Can Rock ’n Roll)”) deserve more notice than they got – likely because of Road’s sheer bulk of worthy material..

He could dip into soul, disco, and country, as well as classic pop balladry and even progressive rock. His versatility, combined with his effortless melodic skills, dynamic charisma, and flamboyant stage shows, made him the most popular recording artist of the '70s....
