With that said, Jason wins this hands down. An Elton fan since the early '70s, I've been a fan through the years...the mid-'70s peak through today. It's without a doubt that Jeff makes some often funny arguments but they are mis-guided wrong.<br><br>Any artist, who has a deep catalog such as Elton will have peaks and valleys. The point is that it is...deep. He and Taupin have never regarded the early material as anything more than pop songs, much of it disposable. And due to Taupin's usually incredible and thoughtful lyrics, the superb production of Gus Dudgeon and a top notch band (not to mention Paul Buckmaster's arrangements on the early releases), the perception is that Elton is in the \"heavy weight\" division of singer songwriters. It's only since he got sober that his songwriting has matched early years ('70-'75) and consider maturing and realizing that he has to be more focused on the songwriting craft than in the early days when everything was so easy and free flowing.<br><br>It's simply not fair to compare '70-'76 to anything after that because nothing stayed the same. Different lyricists, band members and producers will produce different results. Which is why Too Low For Zero remains such a high point in his early '80s output because everything returned to the team that produced the classic sounds san Gus Dudgeon.  <br><br>The late '70s produced his worst album of the decade with Victim of Love. Thankfully, he only sang on it and not responsible for the songwriting, etc. Yet, he sanctioned it and well, everybody else had disco hits so why not try it!<br><br>The '80s kicked off with one of his best songs to ever recall the mid-'70s sound with Little Jeannie. That could have come off 1972's Don't Shoot Me.  Most of what was leftover from that album, 21 AT 33 will hardly be listed in the canons of great EJ songs but Sartorial Eloquence and Chasing The Crown at least shows he was really trying.<br><br>The rest of that decade continued with a mix of traditional pop/rock efforts that, like anyone else, had hits and misses. Restless from 1984's Breaking Hearts was great as well as In Neon from that same album. Yes, I can live without Did He Shoot Her but the song has a nice groove.<br><br>Ice On Fire/Leather Jackets do leave a lot to be desired and to put in context, he wasn't doing all that well mentally. But there are some moments not to be entirely dismissed...say This Town or Slow Rivers or Paris or dare I say it, Nikita!<br><br>The later efforts, Reg Strikes Back and particularly Sleeping With The Past showed brilliant determination to get somewhat serious about his songwriting and not just toss off another album to meet a recording contract. He tried to change his sound to match the times and had he stayed making the same sounding album over and over, he would have been washed up a long time ago. Can you really admit that I Don't Wanna, as dated as it sounds now, isn't a terrrific pop single...for the Summer of '88? Can you?<br><br>The '90s produced three proper studio albums, The One, Made In England and The Big Picture. Now it's clear that he's aging a bit and things are settling down into a mid-tempo feel. And Chris Thomas, who has been his longest serving producer since Dudgeon, really likes to muddy the water and give each song a wall of sound aura that didn't serve them to well. Sure, the title track for The One benefits from this high gloss/tech production, but the rest of the album couldn't get out from under it's own weight. But there are some very well written songs....including The Last Song...one of his most heartfelt and gut wrenching efforts of his career.<br><br>The Big Picture suffered from the same prescription as The One, make everything sound BIG. Here, the lyrics were the biggest obstacle - Taupin seemed to have run out of ideas and most of the songs are full of platitiudes and cliches. Though the title track and If the River Can Bend were fantastic.<br><br>That leaves Made In England as the other album of the '90s that really did try to capture that classic sound thanks to Greg Penny's masterful and stripped down production. This one has many gems.<br><br>So that leaves the millenium, of which he's released three studio albums and two of them are instant classics, Songs from the West Coast from 2001 and 2006's The Captain and The Kid. Elton and Taupin are back in the saddle determined more than ever to treat each new project with care and set high standards for their efforts instead of settling for whatever came out.<br><br>Hmmm...let's see...throw in four Broadway musicals, each of completely different styles and storylines, to add to the already rich catalog and we've come to an artist who has clearly stayed within his element and is not trying to keep up with the Joneses. And thank God for that! <br><br>Elton John remains a passionate artist and gifted songwriter. Who cares that he's never written another Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding...but he's maintained a career in which his approach has pretty much stayed the same: give him the lyrics and he'll put a tune around it. Sure, it may not be as inventive as before but hell, after 30 years, who is? The times are indeed a changing and he's not the hungry rock artist he once was but the passion to craft great pop songs is still there. His aforementioned Broadway shows demonstrates that perfectly...yes, even the Lion King.<br><br>Also, let's remember that Elton's British and he going to do some goofy things just for the sake of doing goofy things once in a while (anyone recall Solar Prestige A Gammon or Big Dipper?)...sure, Candy By The Pound may sound like he wrote it in his sleep but if we're honest with ourselves, so does Island Girl and probably others that are great and written very quickly as well.<br><br>I rest my case.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-06-05_13:16:19", "killed": false, "user_key": "70srocked", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "5 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 3, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}}, "integration": {"receiver_url": "", "theme": 4, "reply_position": false, "disqus_logo": false}, "timer": {"timer_url": "http://localhost:8005", "thread_id": "20208527", "user_id": "anonymous", "forum_id": "994", "hash": 8732530766352643980}, "thread": {"days_alive": 0, "slug": "rock_court_the_people_vs_elton_john", "paginate": false, "num_pages": 1, "num_posts": 58, "per_page": 0, "total_posts": 0, "realtime_paused": true, "id": 20208527, "queued": false}, "reactions_limit": 10, "context": {"show_reply": true, "use_fb_connect": true, "forum_facebook_key": "4c89f79bca1e06310589602ac7ca620d", "use_yahoo": true, "subscribed": false, "use_twitter_signin": true, "use_openid": true, "realtime_speed": 5000}, "reactions_start": 0, "settings": {"debug": false, "disqus_url": "http://disqus.com", "media_url": "http://media.disqus.com"}, "media_url": "http://media.disqus.com"};

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-10593954" class="dsq-comment-message">"A Word In Spanish" is a great piece of evidence for the defense, as are "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again", "Little Jeannie", "Moma Can\'t Buy You Love" (outstanding!), "I Guess That\'s Why They Call It The Blues", "I\'m Still Standing" (very good), "Blue Eyes", "Empty Garden", "Sad Songs" (barely makes the cut), and almost everything on "Songs from the West Coast". All and all enough to cast a shadow of a doubt on the prosecution\'s case.<br><br>As soon as he released "Rock of the Westies" Elton was on a "show me" basis with me. Now THAT LP was worthy of a rock court case all by itself, taking advantage of his then peerless reputation to foist a clunker off on the public. It entered the LP charts at #1 -- I think only "Captain Fantastic" had accomplished that feat previously -- well before that became routine for big name releases with lots of advanced publicity.<br><br>Getting back to the subject at hand: After "Westies" Elton was just another big name has-been until he proved otherwise. Sadly, he never has proved it. But he has come out with plenty of listenable and even good songs, as listed above. I ignore the many of his songs I do not like, e.g., the bombastic "Lion King" soundtrack songs.<br><br>If pop/rock stars could be convicted of being over the hill the rock court jails would be full. If they could be convicted of trading on their reputation or celebrity to overcome a deficiency of talent, many a legend and upcoming teen fave would never release another song. Elton just does not have the talent any more to fill up his releases. Too bad. That is what buying MP3\'s a song at a time is good for.<br><br>p.s. Notwithstanding all of the above, if you had caught me after the release of the 1997/Princess Di version of "Candle in the Wind" I might well of voted to convict. Only time and not having heard it in a decade have erased that abomination enough from my memory to leave psychic room for forgiveness.</div>\

I mean, "Sacrifice" and "The One" and "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" and any number of other late-period Elton AC hits make me want to slit my wrists, they\'re so dull--but if you want to change my vote on this jury to "guilty," you\'re going to have to name me five still-recording artists with careers as long as Elton\'s whose recent work ISN\'T insanely boring.<br><br>Plus, I still like "Nobody Wins," from The Fox. And "Mama Can\'t Buy You Love." And Elton is always good for the occasional raging-queen hissy fit, which is nice. (Though he\'s also responsible for that Sasson commercial from 1985. Maybe I WILL switch my vote, just for that.)</div>\

With that said, Jason wins this hands down. An Elton fan since the early \'70s, I\'ve been a fan through the years...the mid-\'70s peak through today. It\'s without a doubt that Jeff makes some often funny arguments but they are mis-guided wrong.<br><br>Any artist, who has a deep catalog such as Elton will have peaks and valleys. The point is that it is...deep. He and Taupin have never regarded the early material as anything more than pop songs, much of it disposable. And due to Taupin\'s usually incredible and thoughtful lyrics, the superb production of Gus Dudgeon and a top notch band (not to mention Paul Buckmaster\'s arrangements on the early releases), the perception is that Elton is in the "heavy weight" division of singer songwriters. It\'s only since he got sober that his songwriting has matched early years (\'70-\'75) and consider maturing and realizing that he has to be more focused on the songwriting craft than in the early days when everything was so easy and free flowing.<br><br>It\'s simply not fair to compare \'70-\'76 to anything after that because nothing stayed the same. Different lyricists, band members and producers will produce different results. Which is why Too Low For Zero remains such a high point in his early \'80s output because everything returned to the team that produced the classic sounds san Gus Dudgeon.  <br><br>The late \'70s produced his worst album of the decade with Victim of Love. Thankfully, he only sang on it and not responsible for the songwriting, etc. Yet, he sanctioned it and well, everybody else had disco hits so why not try it!<br><br>The \'80s kicked off with one of his best songs to ever recall the mid-\'70s sound with Little Jeannie. That could have come off 1972\'s Don\'t Shoot Me.  Most of what was leftover from that album, 21 AT 33 will hardly be listed in the canons of great EJ songs but Sartorial Eloquence and Chasing The Crown at least shows he was really trying.<br><br>The rest of that decade continued with a mix of traditional pop/rock efforts that, like anyone else, had hits and misses. Restless from 1984\'s Breaking Hearts was great as well as In Neon from that same album. Yes, I can live without Did He Shoot Her but the song has a nice groove.<br><br>Ice On Fire/Leather Jackets do leave a lot to be desired and to put in context, he wasn\'t doing all that well mentally. But there are some moments not to be entirely dismissed...say This Town or Slow Rivers or Paris or dare I say it, Nikita!<br><br>The later efforts, Reg Strikes Back and particularly Sleeping With The Past showed brilliant determination to get somewhat serious about his songwriting and not just toss off another album to meet a recording contract. He tried to change his sound to match the times and had he stayed making the same sounding album over and over, he would have been washed up a long time ago. Can you really admit that I Don\'t Wanna, as dated as it sounds now, isn\'t a terrrific pop single...for the Summer of \'88? Can you?<br><br>The \'90s produced three proper studio albums, The One, Made In England and The Big Picture. Now it\'s clear that he\'s aging a bit and things are settling down into a mid-tempo feel. And Chris Thomas, who has been his longest serving producer since Dudgeon, really likes to muddy the water and give each song a wall of sound aura that didn\'t serve them to well. Sure, the title track for The One benefits from this high gloss/tech production, but the rest of the album couldn\'t get out from under it\'s own weight. But there are some very well written songs....including The Last Song...one of his most heartfelt and gut wrenching efforts of his career.<br><br>The Big Picture suffered from the same prescription as The One, make everything sound BIG. Here, the lyrics were the biggest obstacle - Taupin seemed to have run out of ideas and most of the songs are full of platitiudes and cliches. Though the title track and If the River Can Bend were fantastic.<br><br>That leaves Made In England as the other album of the \'90s that really did try to capture that classic sound thanks to Greg Penny\'s masterful and stripped down production. This one has many gems.<br><br>So that leaves the millenium, of which he\'s released three studio albums and two of them are instant classics, Songs from the West Coast from 2001 and 2006\'s The Captain and The Kid. Elton and Taupin are back in the saddle determined more than ever to treat each new project with care and set high standards for their efforts instead of settling for whatever came out.<br><br>Hmmm...let\'s see...throw in four Broadway musicals, each of completely different styles and storylines, to add to the already rich catalog and we\'ve come to an artist who has clearly stayed within his element and is not trying to keep up with the Joneses. And thank God for that! <br><br>Elton John remains a passionate artist and gifted songwriter. Who cares that he\'s never written another Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding...but he\'s maintained a career in which his approach has pretty much stayed the same: give him the lyrics and he\'ll put a tune around it. Sure, it may not be as inventive as before but hell, after 30 years, who is? The times are indeed a changing and he\'s not the hungry rock artist he once was but the passion to craft great pop songs is still there. His aforementioned Broadway shows demonstrates that perfectly...yes, even the Lion King.<br><br>Also, let\'s remember that Elton\'s British and he going to do some goofy things just for the sake of doing goofy things once in a while (anyone recall Solar Prestige A Gammon or Big Dipper?)...sure, Candy By The Pound may sound like he wrote it in his sleep but if we\'re honest with ourselves, so does Island Girl and probably others that are great and written very quickly as well.<br><br>I rest my case.</div>\

For once in your life, please go to an intelligent web site en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_John and learn about this man who devoted his entire life to music. He is a perfectionist, overachiever genius, who has never stopped growing. He has developed into a complete artist, he can play, write, and compose it all, classical, jazz, folk, rock, pop, and all the rest. He writes extremely successful musicals, the new series “Spectacle” on Sundance channel is a breath of fresh air. He loves, knows to appreciate, and is interested all aspects of art, including dance, photography, painting, sculpture, and probably more. He is constantly searching for new young artists with real talent, and helps promote them. <br>Furthermore, he is a philanthropist, giving and generous. He sure does not belong in this dumb court. He   certainly is not stuck in the 1970’s, he keeps moving forward in all directions, because he is full of ideas, talent,  eager to try new things, his energy is unbelievable.  May be it is his incredible success which is bothering you all.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-10583893" class="dsq-comment-message">Elton was always great, but some fuckfaces really think that only good music is those with "rock" in itself. :p<br>The truth is that Elton was never really a rock artists. He is classical musician with many different elements and flavors in his music- rock, pop, blues, gospel, country, etc. <br>IMHO, Elton was better and better every year and I would put songs like IGTWTCIT Blues, The One and Believe together with Rocket Man, Your Song and Philadelphia Freedom. <br>Sure, there were some weak albums like Leather Jackets and 21 At 33, but even those would be consider masterpieces if they were by someone else- Prince, Madonna or Michael Jackson for example. You can also find weak albums in "classic era" like Rock Of The Westies for example. <br>The true strength of Elton\'s music lies in his ability to compose a song and bring those songs to life. Anybody who is only capable for rewriting stupid reviews and repetiting cliches like "only Elton\'s 1970-1976 era is good) does not deserve to talk or listen to Elton\'s music. Thank You!</div>\
