Elton John definitely has the authority to say that. By virtue of the fact that he also has many pretty awful songs.

 

 

 

OOOOOHHHHH!

 

I say that, and I love Funeral For A Friend and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

 

And I super super love Tiny Dancer. :love:

Blue pretty much summed it up in his first post for me. I think its interesting because I don`t think EJ would have any chance in todays climate. Think about it.... a young, nerdy looking singer who doesn`t exactly come across a sexy stud... well there was/is Clay Aiken but still.

 

I also think hes pointing the finger at the wrong people. The writers write what the big wigs want. Who really controls whats popular? Radio Program Directors... who tells them what to play? Clear Channel.

 

A professional songwriter has their hands tied today. Thats all I really wanted to add to this.
