Elton John - Greatest Hits .jpg) .gif) By David Cantwell
Elton John has always fancied himself a big-theme album artist, but
because even his finest albums are spotty, his best moments, with few
exceptions, have been singles. Greatest Hits collects nine of them
from '70 to '74, plus one of those exceptions, the stirring faux-gospel
"Border Song." If you overlook the weightless "Crocodile
Rock" and the contrived "Your Song," this album shows why
John is a superstar, especially on the big ballads, where collaborator
Bernie Taupin supplies some interesting lyrics for his impeccable melodic
hooks. The ethereal "Rocket Man" is a marvel despite its goofy
premise, and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" remains the
greatest pop moment of John's career.
