Free Music Notes for Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002
Free Music Review: EJ's Hits
Hit: 4 Stars
Great songs just as I expected. EJ is always and without hesitation a great performer. The very reason that he will always be able to demand the best price, the best stage or whatever else he wants. Never fails to deliver.Free Music Review: Elton
Hit: 5 Stars
Bought as a gift but ended up ordering another one for myself. Every song brings back great memories!Free Music Review: I'd Rather Not
Hit: 2 Stars
Elton John,...is terrible on this disc. The songs, "Melou, Melou", "Bride with Red", "Threaten Love Bast" and etc, are just too tedious to non Elton Fans. A complete waste of time if you don't read his books first.
Free Music Review: Missing Hits and Flawed Mastering
Hit: 3 Stars
The song "Daniel" is an inexplicably messed up master that fades out just seconds before the actual ending. Never heard that before... Another reviewer also mentioned that Honky Cat and Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting were edited (early fades). Other reviewers complain about the flat or EQ'd mastering problems. The credits say "various songs" remastered by Gus Dudgeon - this would explain the uneven quality (unacceptable from a major label like Universal/UTV).
As many have pointed out, this set is missing the #1 hit "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (unforgivable) as well as the top 10 hits "Mama Can't Buy You Love" and "Empty Garden". There's several lame 90's tunes on disc two to make it even worse.
Universal's Gold series has done many new collections that had EVERY hit by major artists - so it can be done.
Free Music Review: They Are All Here!
Hit: 5 Stars
Every great Elton John song from the 'glory years' is right here in this CD. A while back it occured to me that pop music had undergone a subtle yet very real change, and to me it wasn't for the better. In fact, today, you will find bands re-recording these classics with their own type of imprint and if you are like me, you cringe. Seems they are running out of talent.
Almost every Elton John song is a classic. From the better known "Daniel" or "Rocket Man" to the lesser known but still great "Sad Songs", they are all filled with depth and style. Elton John's music is signature-by that I mean you know immediately when you hear even the instrumental parts before he actually sings, that this is one of his songs.
I came of age listening to these classics. It was great to find them all in one CD and to sit back and reminisce about the time that AM was real and music was truly music. This is a collection you will enjoy for years to come.
