Picking Elton John's single greatest album is no easy task. The man worked like a maniac in the early 1970s, releasing 10 albums between 1970 and 1976. Those were his golden years, but he kept going and managed more than a few true creative comebacks in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The timing was also impeccable. The Beatles broke up the very week the album hit shelves. People were ready for a new rock god, and Elton was more than happy to take the job. Also, look at the cover photo: it's the final image of a pre-fame Elton. He has a terrible haircut, bad skin and unfashionable glasses. He'd never again look like that.

Elton John includes his breakthrough hit, "Your Song", and helped to establish his career during what was considered the "singer-songwriter" era of popular music. In the US, it was certified gold in February 1971 by the RIAA. The Very Best is a greatest hits album released by Australian band INXS in 2011.
