One of my favorite Elton John songs....

But, we have 3 "classic rock" stations in Seattle, and that - along with "Daniel", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" "Levon" and a host of others just get played waaaay too much for me... hell, I'm even at the point where Jackson Browne's "The Load Out/Stay" - which was hands-down my favorite song about the music industry - is now on my list of "never need to hear it again" songs...

silly!

You could just use ignore like others do with members they don't like.

I pick Levon, a much better song.

I hate terrestrial radio.

We've been Sirius subscribers for years and I could not imagine having to go back to listening to commercial radio.

my favorites too, along with

But, if one of them is "Candle in the Wind", I'd say that song has two strikes against it for me... first, the Princess Diana remake got overplayed to absolute death.. but more importantly, my old singer passed away back in 2009 from diabetes.. we had been friends and bandmates for 18 years.. whenever we were on the road, we'd always find some little karaoke joint, and that was "his" song.. he always nailed it, and it was always fun to watch people being blown away by a scary-looking, professional metal singer doing such an iconic "mellow rock" song, and doing it better than even the original.. of course, it was played at his memorial.. still kinda hard to hear 4 years later.

Along with this one.




I damn near wore out my Good Bye Yellow Brick Road album.

That's a good one.

Top notch recording here from the Royal Opera House with full orchestra and choir.
