Elton is a fascinating series of contradictions. He is a living legend. He has the ability to perform hissy fits of biblical proportions yet has an amazing abilty to to create a tune that stays with you forever. Bush is an overwarbled harpy in comparison. Elton forever.

Rocket Man is in my top ten all time hits. An incredible tune. Elton all the way.

Even better is Someone Saved My Life Tonight. An amazing song, Bernie Taupin's incredible lyrics melded with Eltons hypnotic tune and vocals.

Has anyone else noticed how shithouse Elton became when him and Bernie stopped doing heroic amounts of drugs?

Except for "I want love" everything else has been turd.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin were and are a marriage made in heaven, produced some on the most memorable songs of my childhood, Rocket Man and Tiny Dancer are two of my favourite ever songs.

Elton John's 70s tunes are timeless.
 
Greatest ever live performance of a single track witnessed by me was "Rocket Man" by EJ and the classic Nigel Olsson, Davey Johnstone and Dee Murray (RIP) line up of the Elton John band at the Brighton Centre on a rainy night sometime in the early '80's. Anyone else there that night - they rocked.

Bush covers the song brilliantly. An Observer poll in 2007 voted this the best cover of all-time.
