Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002

Amazon.com
This is the first attempt to consolidate all of Sir Elton's hit singles, from three labels, in one collection. It once would've required at least four CDs to own the best stuff here. Many think the legendary performer was at his best in the early to mid-'70s, and the incredible string of singles that ran from 1970's "Your Song" through 1977's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" remains mighty impressive. But in retrospect, as they're presented here, '80s hits like "I'm Still Standing" and "Sad Songs" add much to an already amazing legacy. Three Disney tunes, the lush "The One," and two from Songs from the West Coast, which was hailed as a return to those '70s golden days, represent the later years. Collectively, these tracks reinforce the notion that, despite Michael Jackson's later proclamations, John was once the closest thing post-'60s music had to a genuine king of pop, respected by hipsters and the mainstream alike. --Bill Holdship

you can tell everybody these are your songs.......2007-07-19

elton john's greatest hits 1970-2002 has 34 classic songs,plus a limited-edition bonus disc with 4 more songs. your song starts things off nicely.i also like the songs tiny dancer(later redone by tim mcgraw.),crocidile rock,island girl,sorry seems to be the hardest word, don't go breaking my heart,i'm still standing,sad dongs(say so much), can you feel the love tonight,iwant love,and this train doesn't stop here anymore.the bonus disc is good too. thanks for the music elton. ed wilson

Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-12

I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
Elton John is good. This CD is even better. I was disappointed to learn that he didn't write a lick of his own lyrics (Bernie Taupin did). Elton John just wrote the music. And I guess we need to hear great music before we'll listen to the lyrics of a song.
Amazon is currently selling the CD for $15. The good news is that there is $20 worth of great music on it. This CD is worth ever dollar and them some. The essential Elton John songs are: Disc 1 - Tracks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15 & 16 (and I guess Candle In The Wind). Disc 2 - Tracks 1,3,4,5 & 6.
Hope this helps.

A great greatest hits.......2007-06-05

I got this as a birthday present and it's fab! It has all the songs that Elton is well known for and a few you maybe have forgotten about. It's easy listening and great for singing along to. Big thumbs up from me!

Elton lovers rejoice.......2007-05-06

I've got lots of old Elton on vinyl (yes, I'm old) and was delighted to find 37 Elton tunes on CD for such a great price. This is a wonderful collection with some newer songs I didn't have. And I can play them in the car! (vinyl is not so good for that).

Great Album!.......2007-04-03

I am really enjoying this one. How can anyone dislike anything done by Elton John? Highly recommended.

Misses too many songs to be a true "greatest" collection.......2006-12-18

Elton John has been a force in music for more than 30 years. He has an incredible amount of talent, both as an author of music, and as a performer. This collection attempts to pull together some of the best of Elton's work from his career, beginning with the "Elton John" album and ending with "Songs from the West Coast."

Nearly every song on this CD is musically good to excellent. Most of these songs were hits. As a sampler of Elton's music, this collection is a very good start. However, this CD does have a few flaws. The principal flaw is that while the CD purports to be Elton John's greatest hits, it does miss quite a few hits. The missing songs that stood out most noticeably to me are "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Pinball Wizard". However, there are other songs that were top 10 that were missed as well. It is impossible to represent Elton's greatest hits with only two CDs, and that is the main flaw of this collection.

The difficulty with most "greatest hits" collections is choosing the songs. Regardless of how good a job you do, there will be a fan who thinks a song was neglected. Conversely, there will be other fans that think a song on the collection should have been excluded. Rather than complain about what was or wasn't on this collection, the focus should be on this collection alone. At this time, this collection is the best single representation of Elton over the bulk of his career. For the songs that were missed from this collection, you can add "Rare Masters" and "Love Songs", which pick up a lot more of Elton's early career and fills in more of Elton's best.

Note that there are several versions of this collection. The U.S. version has "Levon" and "Blessed." This version replaces those songs with "Blue Eyes" and "Made in England." I like all four songs, but choices have to be made to keep this collection to two CD's.

With more than 40 albums, comprising hundreds of songs, choosing the 34 best is an absolutely terrible job. Similar to those people who would have added other songs, or subtracted some of those included, I too would have done something similar. However, we would never have agreed on the best. So take this CD as the best collection available to sample Elton's career. From that viewpoint, this CD rates 5 stars. Then you can add the other CDs I mentioned, and in the case of the classic albums and a few others, add original albums as well. We live in an imperfect world, thus a less than perfect collection of Elton's career is better than not having this collection at all.

DIFFERENT FROM THE AMERICAN EDITION.......2006-02-28

THIS EUROPE EDITION OF THIS DOUBLE GREATEST HITS IS DIFFERENT TO THE AMERICAN EDITION, U.S. VERSION HAS 18 TRACKS PER CD, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE SINGLE VERSIONS, EUROPE EDTION HAS 17 TRACKS PER CD BUT ALL OF THEM COMPLETE, BOTH VERSIONS DIGITALLY REMASTERED,THIS IN A CONVETIONAL DOUBLE CD CASE, AMERICAN COMES IN DIGIPACK.

Still Standing... Also Musically.......2003-10-28

It is hard to really imagine it when it really comes to Greatest Hits records these past few years in the industry. Unfortunately, people always want more but never recieve it. From the music of Elton John however, it should be considered as a message from above. Still, many people don't seem to remember that out of Elton with poor Greatest Hits records, but with a definitive voice.

When Universal released the Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002, the U.S. version seemed as if it was a joke, largely because there were just too many good songs that were overlooked. Ironically, that went exactly the same for the import from Britain. The British version had a little difference in its lineup with songs like Kiss The Bride, Blue Eyes and Elton John's 1978 Insturmental Song For Guy. Still, the record doesn't have a few songs the U.S. version has like Blessed and Little Jeannie. Still, there are so many good songs on the take including Believe, Sad Songs (Say So Much), and Your Song. Speaking of the collection, it happens to be the Bonus CD that makes this collection a little bit better, with three of the songs that were on a special Bonus CD that was issued on the U.S. version. Sadly, that Bonus CD was pulled. This one does have a lot more to play around with with three of the songs from the U.S. bonus CD, Your Song, Live Like Horses, and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael). The only song that wasn't included in this Bonus CD was Elton's live performance of Candle In The Wind in 1987.

However, there are 11 songs added to this mix including some that were really overlooked on the U.S. version including True Love, his duet with Kiki Dee from no longer issued Duets record, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, his cover of The Beatles hit, I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That, not released on the U.K. version of this collection, but as a bonus, as well as classics like Border Song, and his cover of The Who's Pinball Wizard, which he performed in the movie, Tommy. There are also a couple of new editions to this collection, including a remake of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (with Blue), and Are You Ready For Love, and unreleased song from 1979. The song recently took off here on the Billboard charts, but only as a single.

Although many songs are still missing from this collection from the 90's and above, with songs like The Last Song, Simple Life, and Empty Garden, the collection is a far improvement from the issusing of it last year, there is no doubt about Elton John. His music as his legacy will be Forever.

Although many songs are still missing from this collection from the 90's and above, with songs like The Last Song, Simple Life, and Empty Garden, the collection is a far improvement from the issusing of it last year, there is no doubt about Elton John. His music as his legacy will be Forever.

Still Standing... Also Musically.......2003-10-28

It is hard to really imagine it when it really comes to Greatest Hits records these past few years in the industry. Unfortunately, people always want more but never recieve it. From the music of Elton John however, it should be considered as a message from above. Still, many people don't seem to remember that out of Elton with poor Greatest Hits records, but with a definitive voice.

When Universal released the Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002, the U.S. version seemed as if it was a joke, largely because there were just too many good songs that were overlooked. Ironically, that went exactly the same for the import from Britain. The British version had a little difference in its lineup with songs like Kiss The Bride, Blue Eyes and Elton John's 1978 Insturmental Song For Guy. Still, the record doesn't have a few songs the U.S. version has like Blessed and Little Jeannie. Still, there are so many good songs on the take including Believe, Sad Songs (Say So Much), and Your Song. Speaking of the collection, it happens to be the Bonus CD that makes this collection a little bit better, with three of the songs that were on a special Bonus CD that was issued on the U.S. version. Sadly, that Bonus CD was pulled. This one does have a lot more to play around with with three of the songs from the U.S. bonus CD, Your Song, Live Like Horses, and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael). The only song that wasn't included in this Bonus CD was Elton's live performance of Candle In The Wind in 1987.

However, there are 11 songs added to this mix including some that were really overlooked on the U.S. version including True Love, his duet with Kiki Dee from no longer issued Duets record, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, his cover of The Beatles hit, I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That, not released on the U.K. version of this collection, but as a bonus, as well as classics like Border Song, and his cover of The Who's Pinball Wizard, which he performed in the movie, Tommy. There are also a couple of new editions to this collection, including a remake of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (with Blue), and Are You Ready For Love, and unreleased song from 1979. The song recently took off here on the Billboard charts, but only as a single.

Although many songs are still missing from this collection from the 90's and above, with songs like The Last Song, Simple Life, and Empty Garden, the collection is a far improvement from the issusing of it last year, there is no doubt about Elton John. His music as his legacy will be Forever.
