Now, where was I?
Ah, yes. The J's. Jethro Tull is done, and we move onto Elton John. Get comfy. (For those just tuning in, we got a new turntable in December, and I'm slowly, but surely, working my way through my vinyl records.)


Elton John, 1970
Tumbleweed Connection, 1970
Honky Chateau, 1971
Madman Across the Water,1972
Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player, 1972
Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road, 1973
Caribou, 1974
Greatest Hits, 1974
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, 1975
Rock of the Westies, 1975
Greatest Hits Volume II, 1976

After this, it gets spotty.
A Single Man, 1978
The Fox, 1981
Too Low For Zero, 1983
Ice on Fire, 1985

And as a J afterthought,
Journey, 1978

I'm feeling rather: calm calm

We are considering a turn table, of course all our vinyl went in the great purge before we moved to korea. Josh has a turntable and much vinyl...someday we'll get our own.

Love Elton John. Crocodile Rock always makes me smile.

I'll accept that you think so. I can think of others that get my panties wetter, however, if you want to talk pure talent, then I'm with you that he's one of the best.

Oh gads... you should hear who I think is hot...I can't explain either.

Not hot, in that sense, but sexy. I keep telling my girls that sooner or later, things like talent, intelliegence, and sense of humor are dead sexy--because it's so true. Now, if you can get that AND Gary Oldman's face, well, hey. I just said to them today that I'd take somebody homely, but smart and funny, over a stupid pretty boy any day of the week.

I agree ...which might explain Steve Buscemi

Eye candy is fun... but give me substance, not that they are exclusive, but if I have to choose, I will choose smart.

Let me tell, when I got together with Jim a lot of my friends were all...he drives a nova, he's 25, he's this -he's that- he's the other. What I saw was this incredibly smart, sweet, funny guy.
24 years later where are all the pretty boys who were driving thunderbirds? I know where Jim is, right here being uber husband. :)

Re: You know what drives me crazy ?
Have you got any J. Geils? And where is that filed? REO, INXS? How about the guy who sings, "Little Pink Houses", "Hurts so Good", and "Jack and Diane"? Where are those? Or is this getting too personal?

Journey... don't get me going...

Re: You know what drives me crazy ?
No J. Geils. No Shitwagon. One INXS, I think, under I if I didn't get rid of it somewhere along the way. I got rid of a lot when we moved back from Alaska. Mellencamp goes under Mellencamp. I've got several of those. I have bunch of stuff by a few artists, and then a things by weird people where I only have one or two.For instance, after the one Journey album, I think it's The Knack.

Re: You know what drives me crazy ?
But, INXS, between Indigenous and Iron Butterfly, or at the beginning of "I", before Indigenous ?

Johnnny Cougar will always be Johnny Cougar to me, wrong or right.

REO - is "Riding the Storm Out" an exception?

Re: You know what drives me crazy ?
I do have Iron Butterfly, now I think on it. INXS would come first. I don't have enough in the I section to make it so complicated. Don't like REO Speedwagon. At. All. I hate the way he over-pronounces his R's.

Re: You know what drives me crazy ?
I went back and tagged all these posts, and I noticed that I had no I's at all. INXS and Iron Butterfly both got left in Alaska.

I think I would cry. I have over 500 LPs down in the basement, but they're up high.

Oh, man. I'm up to Madman Across the Water. "Tiny Dancer" is my all-time favorite Elton John song. ::sigh::

Re: I think...
Second favorite: "Sacrifice." It was that video that made me decide he's the sexiest man on the planet. I was just mesmerized, wondering how it could possibly have escaped my notice before that.
