Culling the best Elton John songs from his extensive catalog feels like folly in a way. The knighted pop icon has nearly 60 Top 40 singles for good reason; both with and without lyricist Bernie Taupin, John has written a big pile o' great songs, with a variety that stretches from rockers to ballads, soul to show tunes and blues to symphonic grandeur. John may have sung about "waiting for the day he can spread his wings," but the guy who sang this earnest ballad from his 1969 debut album Empty Sky was already well-formed and ready to take flight - although nobody then could have known the heights he'd reach.

John and Bernie Taupin's songwriting had become more immediate and successful; in particular, John's music had become sharper and more diverse, rescuing Taupin's frequently nebulous lyrics. Take Me to the Pilot" might not make much sense lyrically, but John had the good sense to ground its willfully cryptic words with a catchy blues-based melody.
