One of my most disliked artists of all time.
How have I not seen this before. Incredible.
Alan Partridge esque.
I liked the Tumbleweed Connection album.Some of his early stuff is very good, some not so good. A great "showman" you don't get to fill stadiums for decades without being able to put on a show. Tumbleweed Connection is (from memory) good in patches. I still have Goodbye Yellow Brick Road somewhere and that is a very good album with hardly a duff track (yes, the tiresome "Candle in the Wind" is on there but pre the dead princess re-write/interpretation held up). His later stuff is the odd good track among a morass of mediocrity.
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy - possibly the best album title ever conceived.

What's wrong with work being commercial ?..... as I thought much of his work was too commercial
