What would you think some of his best songs or albums would be?

Im not a big fan of Johns middle period but i heard this again recently and it sounded a lot better than i remembered it.

 

And yes Elton John started out good but like most singers his later period is not something i have any desire to seek out. For me only I Want Love and This Train Dont Stop Here are any good.

I always thought it was just some back singer to emphasize Lennon's voicea-hard-days-night-john-5 I like Elton in his early career but can't stand his later songs

You do need to know some Elton John to distinguish.

A'm pretty sure that you must not be called the only one with that problem, but maybe you need you're heaing checked anyhowdy!!!a-hard-days-night-george-10

Everytime I hear it I try to pick out who is who, but for some reason I find it really difficult a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

Does anyone else have this problem? Or should I go get my hearing checked? a-hard-days-night-george-6
