Go for the U.S Version March 28, 2007

Although the U.K. release has its merits I'd strongly recommend the American version. It includes Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Sacrfice, Island girl and Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and that alone makes the U.S. release more definitve of Elton at his comercial and artistic peak. Let us hope Amazon begins to stock the North American variant sonner rather than later!!!!!
Great compilation July 27, 2007

If you don't already have 'Greatest Hits' or 'The Very Best Of' this is a fine collection to get. Obviously in 18 tracks you are not going to be able to cover all the great songs (or even a small percentage) Elton John and Bernie Taupin have written over the last 38 years.
br /
br /I would change a few tracks myself. 'Tiny Dancer' was never a single in the UK. Although liked by fans (and me), as was shown at the recent Diana concert it isn't known by the majority of people and went down like a lead balloon. I would have replaced it with 'Border Song' another early classic.
br /
br /Its nice to see a few tracks from two of his recent albums. 'I Want Love' from Songs from the West Coast, and 'Tinderbox' from The Captain and the Kid. Both really catchy singles off respectively the two best albums he has made since the 1970's probably.
br /
br /This is also a fine way to introduce yourself to one of the UK's finest ever popular songwriting teams. John/Taupin are up there with Lennon/McCartney. So if you haven't bothered to listen to Elton up to now this is a good place to start.

The best greatest hits collection so far from the best piano player in pop...and worth buying for the classic "Dont Go Breaking My Heart".
Classic all over again. February 24, 2009

Probably the best album you can get. I agree Elton of Sir Elton has made some great albums, but Rocket man Definative hits has the classic hits, not just the Radio one suggested play tunes.
br /If you want a single CD from Elton John , you need to get this.
Brilliant:) July 17, 2009
