That's quite a list of his best songs Cosmic...going to be hard to whittle it down.

First one to go, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"...not a bad song but was never a big fan of this collaboration with Kiki Dee.

I know a lot of people like it but I've never been wowed by Philadelphia Freedom. I love Philly itself though. Great city.

^^I've always had a soft spot for Philadephia Freedom, one of my top 10 fave Elton John songs.

I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself...any song with a title like that should be among the first lopped off the list.

Wow. I'll come back when I know all the cuts. I don't wanna cut something just because I don't know the song.

Elderberry Wine is a lousy song.
