Ranking the Top 5 Songs on Elton John's 1971 Tour de Force 'Madman Across the Water'
Elton John couldn't go wrong throughout much of the '70s, releasing consistently excellent albums and singles at a feverish pace. In fact, it can be tempting to look at an album like Madman Across the Water from 1971 and consider it just another in a great line. But this album deserves special recognition for making it onto a very short list competing for John's best-ever LP. In fact, we'd put it toe-to-toe with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road for the top spot. And these five stellar songs are a big part of the reason why.
