Buying Used CDs
I have been buying used CDs for a long time from this web site and I have NEVER gotten a bum deal. the sellers have all been honest and as long as I can buy them this CHEAP and save a few dollars, I will continue to do so! Thanks Amazon for having this wonderful site!!!.


and the nostalgia continues...
2 is an outstanding CD that gives us so many of his greatest accomplishments. Elton John's Greatest Hits, Vol. The sound quality is great and I love the artwork. Sure, there's not everything here; but for a CD in a two volume set it really doesn't do all that badly--this is a good CD.

The CD starts with the very rockin' "The B**** Is Back. " Elton sings this so well; it works very well and the backup chorus enhances Elton's performance. The electric guitar sounds so great and Elton couldn't have done this any better! Elton John fans are sure to love this tune if by some small chance they haven't heard this famous hit before. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is a great cover of this song by The Beatles; and Elton's interpretation easily rivals that of his predecessors. The guitars again work very well; and Elton never misses a beat! Elton sings so well; he displays great sensitivity for the lyrics and I love every bit of it!

"Tiny Dancer" is a softer, much more sensitive tune that Elton delivers with panache; the piano work sounds great and when the guitars come in this number really takes off like a jet! Elton's voice never sounded better; he never ceases to amaze me.

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is a huge hit for Elton and it's easily a major highlight of this album. Elton sings this to perfection--and beyond! What an awesome voice Elton John has--it's so wonderful that he shares his talents with us. "Philadelphia Freedom" is a softer rock tune from the 1970s that still sounds very strong today. Elton belts this out and the arrangement works wonders for "Philadelphia Freedom. "

"Island Girl" is another `70s hit for Elton John; he sings of a girl from the tropics who ropes in men as easily as breathing. "Island Girl" features Elton front and center--right where he belongs! It's an excellent rock song. "Levon" gets the royal treatment from Elton John who performs this ballad with heart, soul and all his might. The piano work is brilliant, too.

The album ends so well with Elton singing "Pinball Wizard" from The Who's Tommy. Elton does great justice to this cover song and The Who must surely have been pleased! The guitar work adds to the number and "Pinball Wizard" is an excellent example of Elton during his rocking years.

There are very few artists as talented as Elton John; and this CD proves it. This is an excellent collection of just some of Elton's best; and newcomers to Elton John's artistry would do well to start with albums like this one.
.


Elton at his best!
From mammoth hits like "Tiny Dancer" to the obscure, but spectacular break-up song "I Feel Like a Bullet(In the Gun Of Robert Ford) it's all here. Great songs from one of the best in rock. If you haven't listened to some of Elton John's old stuff in a while, do yourself a favor and buy this CD.
