Those were great records. "Madman Across the Water" and "Honky Chateau" as well. Things really went bad with "Blue Moves" and the rest was just straight downhill.
when he was teamed up with Taupin was stuff was BOSS
imo, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Madman was his best efforts
and yeah, he lost it in the 80s

although i have to adimt that i did like "Little Jeannie"
