He is a huge household name that spans decades in the music business. Personally I think Yellow Brick Road was his crowning moment.
Your opinion concerning the Yellow Brick Road Album more than likely stands true. Some of my favorites include Daniel, Your Song, Crocodile Rock, Bennie and the Jets, Levon, Dont let the sun go down on Me, Philadelphia Freedom, Rocket Man. And some from later on during his career like Candle in the Wind, etc.
One of my all-time favorites is "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" part of the Blue Moves album.
