i'm not kidding, this man is an absolutely brilliant songwriter. i don't mean his lyrics so much (especially since he didn't write most of them) but his melodies. listen to his 70s songs, they're mindblowing. "goodbye yellow brick road" is probably my favorite song of his. but throughout his music career he's been a masterful melody writer. i also think his voice has proven a worthy vessel for his melodies. i can think of very few people who have such an impressive and enormous resume of hits. |

Elton is great. I saw a documentary bout Yellow Brick Road the other day... |

zeus: elton reached out to eminem cos 1) he's a big fan (he is also a fan of basement jaxx, moby, groove armada and he was a major factor in bringing them into the public eye cos he always talked about them in interviews) and 2) as a gay man elton wanted to make a point about the closemindedness of gay and lesbian organizations. if you believe eminem, eminem didn't know elton was gay until the media started talking about the upcoming duet. he just liked his music, that's why he accepted. again, this is em's words on the subject, not necessarily the truth. i thought it was a pretty cool duet, but yea - it was something for hype. |

elton and his lyricist bernie taupin (spelling on that) are GREAT. all you have to do is think how many songs ring bells in your head to know how influential he's been. YES some of his stuff is horrible POP....but my personal favourite song 'Rocket Man' is just brilliant.....and i agree Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is fantastic. i've always loved 'funeral for a friend' i'd like that played for me someday. |

no.... just don't think it would have had so much air play and would have been so "inspirational" as some people put it, if the real meaning had gone out earlyer |

maybe it's his hidden desires coming into focus |

the song doesn't inspire me.....it's just a good tune....makes me think of lots of things not related to the song at all. thats what music does sometimes.....takes you somewhere....thats why i like it. |
