I always loved the coda to "Thunder Road," though Bruce himself wouldn't have a great end until a few years later.

WOS to "Shooting Star."  A story song with not enough story.

VHM EJ and his, er, Sugar Bear. Hearing "Meal Ticket" on KCDX the other day reminds me that despite debuting at #1 in Billboard, this LP did not produce the wide array of radio-beloved tracks that most Elton albums did . Just this, the title track and (secondarily) "Meal Ticket" (which really shoulda been a single).

BOS1 to Pilot, and BOS2 to EJ in a really demanding vocal performance.  Another of the very first songs I remember hearing - I specifically remember the line about the butterfly.  "Meal Ticket" is grand, but I'd've been equally happy with "Curtains" as a single.  Or a track off the expanded edition that came out a few years ago, "One Day at a Time."

one of their weaker singles lyrically -- a blatant attempt at jumping on the (then-significant) nostalgia bandwagon.

But BOS4 Foggit, er, Foghat.

I'm in the minority that actually likes "HT".
