This is an album from my childhood. It's a fantastic album. Only one song reached below 75 on my last listen, and the best songs are obviously the title track and Saturday Night.

I like it a lot. It's a few songs too long in my opinion, but there are some really awesome songs on here.

This is a great album. Anyone who thinks Elton is all hits and filler, this album is the best argumnent against that. The opening track is a monster...Meat Loaf WISHES he had done it. The hits are plenty and great...but this also has real gems like Jamaica Jerk Off, All The Girls Love Alice, Harmony, Social Disease, Roy Rogers...this is an impressive collection of songs.

To each his own, but this album is positively the definition of all hits and filler, in my opinion.
