Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ist das siebte Studioalbum von Elton John und erschien 1973. Das Album birgt meiner Meinung nach einige der besten Songs von Elton John. Insbesondere der Longtrack "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding " ist ein Kracher. Er schlägt musikalische eine Brücke vom Pop hin zum Prock Rock. Dream Theater coverten diesen Song auf ihrem Album "A Change Of Seasons". Und auch die etwas kitschig anmutende Ballade "Candle in the Wind" hat ihren Reiz und ist eine Ode an Marilyn Monroe. Sehr gerne höre ich auch "Bennie And The Jets", den Titelsong "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "All The Girls Love Alice", " I've Seen That Movie Too" und "The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-34)". Mit "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" fetzt es gar ein wenig.

Nicht ganz mein Lieblingsalbum von ihm, aber nahe dran am Meisterwerk. Hier sind es vor allem die versteckten, selten bis gar nie gespielten Songs, die ich zum Teil echt wunderschön finde. Und: es war mein erstes Elton John Album, das ich mir damals kaufte.
