#91 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John)
by Brady Paron |
Well, it's taken me forever to write about this album. I had some mental block happening that every time I thought about writing about Elton John, I just cringed.

Their sound incorporates this Americana sound that is hidden underneath strong guitar riffs that I'm sure sounded far more hard-rock than they do now. For me, listening to "Green River" was literally an "Oh yeah, this rocks" kind of experience. You have to love CCR. Also...
