Rarely has a greatest-hits collection been as effective as Elton John's first compilation of Greatest Hits. Released at the end of 1974, after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Caribou had effectively established him as a superstar, Greatest Hits is exactly what it says it is -- it features every one of his Top Ten singles ("Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Honky Cat," "Crocodile Rock," "Daniel," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Bennie and the Jets," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"), plus the number 12 "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and radio and concert favorite "Border Song." Despite the exclusion of a couple of lesser hits from this era, most notably "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer," Greatest Hits is a nearly flawless collection, offering a perfect introduction to Elton John and providing casual fans with almost all the hits they need.

Sir Elton. A bona-fide living legend. He has written so many songs, crossed over into so many different genres and touched so many generations of people over the past 50 years with his music, it's kind of hard to pick favorites. Having just said that, I'll go right ahead and pick mine: the tracks included in this album. I'm a sucker for the oldies, it's true. If I were putting a sample of his life's work into a time capsule, and had to choose 11 songs, 8 of them would be from the tracks in this compilation.
Glad you liked it kentk9... the first song is for you :D
