Max.
And anyone else interested.

I think 'I Am Your Robot' from Jump Up (1982) is Elton's most dreadful moment.

"My serial number is 4 4 3 5 7".

Or whatever.

It is terrible.

Joan of Arc's 'merchandise' schlock is a close second. 

Jump Up is the CD with BLUE EYES on it.  (Folks).  (Not Max).

It came on randomly when I was taking a bath in our attic in Sheffield.
My first hearing.
I thought it was Elvis Presley because Elton hadn't sung low like that before!

It is pretty dire Bryan has to be said.

 Wrong feel, register... it's just all wrong. Sad really.

 Forced.

Although forced lyrics have slipped through the net a couple of times from Toots Taupin.

 'Me I carry too much baggage / Oh man I've seen so much traffic'

Fabulous song, but questionable rhyming!

We love him.

I feel I should retract some of the acidity of my Billy Bragg statement.

M For Me is actually a quite pleasant song...the rest of the album is shit though.

A double whammy of disillusionment.
