Tom C Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Feb 16 2008, 10:32 PM) QUOTE (barney_rebel @ Feb 16 2008, 07:14 PM) OK with that comment, consider this thread closed until we sort out how to handle Tom C. Okay, I think we have it sorted out. Tom C, one more hate post about "homos" or any other group that you don't approve of will get you banned from this board. Permanently. We don't allow hate talk here. Very simple. Grow up. Re-opening this thread. Sorry. Can I still have a go at Watford Fans/Bald People/Fat Dudes????????????? There's a thing called sarcasm. It's the lowest form of wit. It apears to go above the head of some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Tom, there's also a thing called decency. Using a sexuality to be the butt of your jokes will always be frowned upon. Anyway, I haven't really got into him that much, any recommendations from anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 One thing about Elton we can all agree on I think is that he's as nutty as barrel full of squirrels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or Captian Fantastic as starters then move on to less accessible albums (but just as great) Honky Chateu, Madman Across the Water, or Tumbleweed Connection....Don't Shoot Me Shoot Me Im Only The Piano Player is great too but not on par with the above 5. but if you're not sure that you'll like him then i would just go with his first Greatest Hits album, which is if im not mistaken one of the top selling greatest hits albums of all time. hope i helped. im kinda an Elton dork my mom got me hooked on him since i was 5.

owlswing Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think Elton John was the first real music I listened too back in the days of Kiki Dee and I still like his music to this day. I was lucky enough to see him live once thanks to my boss who chose the US Open over a concert. I would see him again if the opportunity came up.

Many, many year sago I got a free flexi-disc of Elton John and Kiki dee with a pair of shoes. I was scarred for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's patches of those last few 70s albums that were good, time for a reassessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
