Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

Even those who customarily dismiss Elton John as a somewhat bland and sentimental balladeer would find much to admire in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the best album he has ever made. The track listing reads like an early Greatest Hits collection; it contains not only the original version of "Candle In The Wind" but such raucous and gleeful songs as "Bennie And The Jets", "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" and "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)". From the impassioned opening medley of "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" to the gentle closer, "Harmony", there are few duff moments among these 17 tracks. "All The Young Girls Love Alice" is a savage but wry tale of lesbian exploitation, and the title song is just short of lovely. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is both a joy for fans and a genuine surprise for the uninitiated. --David Bennun

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of Rock's Greatest Albums Oct 19 2001
By Barry
Format:Audio CD
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has to be the most quintessential Elton John album. It's the one mentioned and talked about the most. It should be. It is the best double album. Although, in today's world, this 17 song collection probably wouldn't be considered a double album. It starts off with one of the greatest album openers ever, "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". A classic all the way. This album has a number of Elton's most recognized hits - "Bennie And The Jets", The great "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting", and the original, and still best, version of "Candle In The Wind". There are more great tracks here that are just as good. You get "Sweet Painted Lady", which is about prostitutes. Then you have the storysong "The Ballad Of Danny Bailey", which you wish Elton would play in concert. You get a number of great rockers like "Dirty Little Girl", "All The Young Girls Love Alice", and "Your Sister Can't Twist(But She Can Rock And Roll)", among others. But, the crowning jewel, is the highly underrated and horribly overlooked gem, "Harmony". It's the closing track and, without a doubt, the greatest Elton John song that was never a single. That's a crime if ever there was one. It's a great piece of music. The album also includes the rousing up tempo number "Grey Seal". The silliest track is a song called "Jamaica Jerk Off". It's fun and catchy, but silly. There you have it. The perfect Elton John album. The perfect rock album. This is Elton's Sgt. Pepper. A classic in every sense of the word.

4.0 out of 5 stars almost a greatest hits Mar 29 2013
By brownie_g
Format:Audio CD
If you ever wondered why Elton is such a big star this album answers the question. This double album is almost a greatest hits. EJ's famous songs like Saturday's Alright For Fighting, Bennie and the Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Candle in the Wind are all included. There are some lesser known gems that are some of my personal favorites like, This Song Has No Title, Harmony, Roy Rogers, Danny Bailey etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real treat ...
It can be argued that the early 70's were Elton John's best era. If you were to listen to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" you will see why so many people say this. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best John/Taupin collaboration
In my opinion this is the best John/Taupin collaboration. At what is still the most prolific period for the two of them, it seemed they couldn't record the music fast enough. Read more
