3. Bennie And The Jets: The hits keep on coming! "Bennie" actually found great success as an R&B song, in addition to hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's a piano-driven rock send-up, with claps and cheering in the background to simulate the life experience of the fake band Bennie...

First album purchased with my own money at age 9-10--Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 1973. I believe it was $7.77 or $7.99 since it was a double album. Paid scalper prices ($32 for a $16 ticket) to see him at Pine Knob in 1982. Heck, $32 would barely cover a snack at a concert these days.

source: Rate Your Music
Even so, nobody put out a better set of pop/rock songs in the 1970's than Badfinger during their peak period with Pete Ham: not Elton John, not Big Star, not any of the solo Beatles (although the combined efforts of J, P, G, & R surpassed Badfinger somewhat). So, this set is well worth it...

source: Rate Your Music
Changes" is a piano ballad by Elton John. Oh wait sorry, this is by Black Sabbath. Yes it is a piano ballad by the metal gods but it is actually a solid one at that. The star of this single though is the B-Side "Supernaut", which has one of the sickest riffs of all time. Stupid Fact; Frank Zappa on...
