| In terms of sales and lasting popularity, Elton John is one of pops biggest superstars. Initially marketed as a singer/songwriter, John soon revealed he could craft Beatlesque pop and pound out rockers with equal aplomb. He could dip into soul, disco, and country, as well as classic pop balladry and even progressive rock. His versatility, combined with his effortless melodic skills, dynamic charisma, and flamboyant stage shows made him the most popular recording artist of the '70s. Unlike many pop stars, John was able to sustain his popularity, charting a Top 40 single every single year from 1970 to 1996. 2001's Songs From the West Coast was a true return to form for Elton who found critical success for the first time since the eighties. However it wasn't until 2004's Peachtree Road album that he managed to match that success commercially. With over three decades of music to choose from, there is no shortage of back catalogue rarities, amazing memorabilia and quality collectibles all available right here in our specialist Elton John collectors store
