Tumbleweed Connection poll + thread where we talk about how it's the best Elton John album and how anyone who thinks otherwise is kinda crazy

This is stellar. I am not an Elton John fan, but this album is great. Voted "Burn Down the Mission"

too hard

it'll be amoreena or burn down the mission, but i'd like to put in a good word for where to now, st. peter? - just the little arpeggio that opens the verse is gold

also i quite like madman...

madman will be the next poll. I <3 that album too, but it has pretty obv filler, unlike TC

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I only just saw this, but I would have voted for Amoreena, as it totall yhits me at the beginning of Dog Day afternoon.

wouldn't have changed the results much, but just sayin'

yeah I would have gone with that too for the same reason, couldn't believe it was Elton John when i checked it out in the end credits

wow, the "Madman Across The Water" on the deluxe edition of this album is terrific! Mick Ronson on guitar! A nine minute epic! Is this what "November Rain" was going for?

otm, would be interesting if it were on tumbleweed

'into the old man's shoes' - also good

oh I mentioned that earlier

yeah, this "Madman" wouldn't have fit in very well on Tumbleweed, I don't think: it's actually sorta heavy in parts, and would stick out. But it could have fit on side 2, maybe...although if I were to drop a song, maybe I'd drop "Son of Your Father" and it could fit there alright, a blast after "Country Comfort".

It's my favourite, but that'snot to say it's not spotty. I am interested to see what the others made of it when I took it to record club.
