Music Discussion #8 - Elton John

I am writing this installment of Music Discussion, and who did I choose? No, Not U2...but a man who was born in England by the name of Reginald Dwight, and later took the stage name of Elton John, an homage to a former band mate named Elton Dean and Long John Baldry. He went on to have a successful 40 year career thus far and 30 albums to date. He, along with lyricist Bernie Taupin, have written many hits over the years. It is safe to say that he is one of the most well known, accomplished and talented musicians of recent times, even helping to put together the Lion King musical. Below are some of his songs, and it was tough to choose just a few as there are so many good songs of his, IMO.
