| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 76: Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (+ Singularity) |
| FoolFantastic 08/14/22 12:04:56 PM #5: | #97 on my most recent album list update (which I guess means it would land at #2 if included in the most recent volume of Rank the Albums) Despite the epic length, I find myself returning to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road fairly regularly. Though it appears rather front-loaded, even the lesser-known tracks help maintain a powerful energy. There is a certain grandiosity to several of these numbers that only Elton could wrangle into such a resonant state. Maybe it could handle some cuts (Jamaica Jerk-Off especially stands among the obvious weak points of otherwise classic albums), but it does such a great job weaving in and out of different energy levels that such a thought would never occur to me while casually listening. My ranking: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (#625 all-time) Bennie and the Jets (#1919) Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) (#2045) Candle in the Wind (#2181) Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (#2213) I've Seen That Movie Too The Ballad of Danny Bailey (1909-1934) Grey Seal Harmony This Song Has No Title Social Disease All the Girls Love Alice Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock'n'Roll) Roy Rogers Sweet Painted Lady Dirty Little Girl Jamaica Jerk-Off --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...
