the dudes got so many albums it would be difficult but i think i'm partial to either Yellow Brick Road or even his Reg Strikes Back and Sleeping With The Past.
i still don't have the last one. i better get it.

his most recent one is actually quite good, i would totally recommend it.

that's a very tough question... i'd have to give four or five....

Caribou
Rock of the Westies
Blue Moves
Sleeping with the Past
Made in England

None of these are probably considered his "major" albums, but I love these the best, nonetheless.

for me,
honky chateau
is by far my favorite.

My favorite Elton John album is Tumbleweed Connection. My favorite song from that album is Amoreena. In fact, Amoreena is just one of my favorite songs.

It's obvious, but I like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

So many classics, and the lesser known songs are great too.

Two albums, with virtually no filler.

'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' (1973) is his masterpiece,imo.But I also like 'Blue Moves' (1976) .His 70s albums are incredible.

'Rock Of The Westies' was released in October 1975,while 'Blue Moves' (a double album) was released exactly one year later (October 1976).

Tumbleweed connection.

It's worth noting that in the summer of '76,Elton scored a Number One single with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart",but as far as I know,this song doesn't appear on either of the two albums John released that year (a Live album in May and the 2-LP 'Blue Moves' album in October).Strange,huh?

it's insane, but of all the kajillions of albums i own, i don't have a single elton john album. i really dig his '70s stuff, but for some reason, i never picked up anything by the guy.

"Yellow Brick Road"

One of the great double albums... "Grey Seal", "Saturday Night", "This Song Has No Title" etc. etc. etc. Not a weak song on there if u ask me..!

i always have had a soft spot for Too Low 4 Zero... i think it has some great songs. Same with Sleeping with the Past.

For the 70's stuff, I like Elton John... the sound of it is very unique and different from the rest of his albums. I also dig Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player.

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" 1973. His best album to me.

Madman across the water

I love Goodbye Yellow Brick Road too!
