Yep. . .if you look around, you can still find the remastered 2 disc set [look on ebay or perhaps half.com]. However, there is a one disc version that cuts out 4 songs. . .The song "Tonight" on Blue Moves is one of his best. . .

There are so many classic albums that NEVER get mentioned on this site...perhaps it's because people are so strangely fixated on only "funk" and "grooves." Perhaps folks have never bothered to listen to this stuff. Who knows?

Anyway, spread the music here...share classic albums that people should seriously check out...

[*]"Tumbleweed Connection" by Elton John


too low 4 zero and sacrifice are also good albums 2 start with...


You know,KS,I don't have any albums by Elton John.I just have several Greatest Hits compilations and his box set,but I'd really like to get some of his albums.Is 'Tumbleweed Connection' a good place to start? What other classic Elton albums would you recommend?

What's the point of listing a bunch of albums most of us own? How about stuff most of us have never heard of? Right now I'm listening to "House On The Hill" by Audience.
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

I didn't mention Beggars Banquet or Let it Bleed because that would be going against the whole point of my thread. Read it again. I can understand, I guess, if you don't like Elton or The Police. But saying "FUCK OFF" to my praise for Kodo?!?! Are you fucking nuts? eek Check them out, and educate yourself!
