Continuing my series of favorite song lists, here's another piano playing favorite of mine and another impossible list to determine. I had 25 songs to cut down to 10. Well, here they are:
10.) Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - #2 hit- Dec. 73 - I just love the melody, it's that simple.
9.) Rocket Man - #6 hit - July 72 - A great space-age song.
8.) I'm Still Standing - #12 hit - June 83 - A song about still being around for the 80s.
7.) Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - #6 hit - Dec. 76 - A song about coming out, and the tough reaction to it.
6.) Daniel - #2 hit - June 73 - Sad song about a friend dying in the war.
5.) Empty Garden(Hey Hey Johnnie) - #12 hit - June 82 - Great tribute song to John Lennon. Always puts a lump in my throat(Lennon was a hero of mine)...
4.) Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - #12 hit - Sept. 73 - Awesome rocking song, I always have to turn it up when I play it.
3.) Someone Saved My Life Tonight - #4 hit - Aug. 75 - Great song! Not really sure what it's about...
2.) Philadelphia Freedom - #1 hit - Apr. 75 - Written about Billie Jean King playing tennis and also a tribute to the Philly soul sound...he actually performed it on Soul Train once...
1.) Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - #2 hit - Aug. 74 - #1 hit(with George Michael) - Feb. 92 My favorite because it reminds me of some great gospel songs I've heard. It moves me for some reason....
