i see a couple disagree with neil young, and i can see why, but i think he had great output through most of the decade.....

it wasn't uncommon for a lot of these artists to put out two albums a year and average 1 album a year for most of the decade. that's just insane output compared to today, or by the time the 80s rolled around for that matter.

I haven't listened to Elton John that much, but I gave him a "4", because I do like him, and that "I don't like glam rock"-thing you added made it impossible to vote "3"! As others have mentioned, he's not really glam rock, is he? Anyway, my favourite song is probably "Rocket Man". When I was a kid, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" was my favourite, easily, hehe. I still like it, like I do "The Lion King". 😄

Susie (Dramas) is my favorite Elton John song. Honky Chateau is by far my favorite album of his, massively underrated.

What's the name of that cheesy song I love? Oh, yeah! "Sacrifice". It melts my heart every time! 🥰

Some great non-big hit songs from Elton John:

Country Comfort
Where To Now St. Peter?
Amoreena
Burn Down The Mission

(Hell...just go buy Tumbleweed Connection.)

Jamaica Jerk-Off
All The Girls Love Alice
The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-34)

His early albums are loaded with great songs. Much more than just a singles artist. That's why he ruled for a solid decade.

He's great as a singles artist, but I don't see any of his albums making it onto my chart any time soon. As for favorite songs of mine:

Your Song
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Rocket Man

I know, all his hits, but to be honest I haven't heard much in the way of his less popular stuff that has struck a chord with me.

Tiny Dancer, Candle In The Wind, Rocket Man, Your Song, Philadelphia Freedom, The Circle Of Life are some of my favorites.

There is a 5 album collection by Elton John going for £14 in HMV right now. I am tempted. 😨
