from the first eleven albums by Elton John

and Bernie Taupin

These are the eleven "ballads" I've loved for the longest time
and then
the eleven "rockers" I begin to appreciate most now.

As for many other artists, although I still value his melody making higher, I finally realise Elton's power as a rock'n'roller is very big too.

Also mention which I like most among the songs I experience as "mixtures" between ballads and rockers or something else.

First a good portrait video:
