What u said....
I was a huge fan of Bowie mainly for Ziggy and Hunky
And Aladdin and DD I liked too
The Robson years more or less
And Eno era grew on me....
MTV mega hits not so much though that was I guess his biggest hits money wise
He was in my opinion extremely talented....
Elton...
I liked up through GBYBR
after that I lost interest
His early stuff was new sounding...
Girls loved it.....like Kirwan Spencer and Welch Mac....
Or Buckingham Nicks before they joined
Elton first 3-4 albums high school...cool girls loved...I mean how could you not like Levon or Texas love song or Funeral for a Friend with Davey chopping it pretty hard for an Elton song
Stones and Zep
My two fav big groups
Just listen to that band on that one, who could have pulled it off better than they did? Elton owed his career to having one of the, if not the best backing bands of all time.
