One of the few solo artists of the British pop elite to become an international superstar with true longevity, Elton John is no stranger to having his songs (almost always co-written with Bernie Taupin) collected and repackaged. While ROCKET MAN may initially seem superfluous, particularly in light of the well-selected GREATEST HITS 1970-2002, the compilation actually fills a significant gap in John's catalogue by bridging the difference between '74's slim-but-solid GREATEST HITS and the aforementioned decades-spanning 34-track anthology. Naturally ROCKET MAN features plenty of the flamboyant singer/pianist's '70s material--including the gorgeous "Your Song," the gentle "Tiny Dancer," and the quietly anthemic title track--but it also features a handful of tunes from his subsequent work (see the synth-laden "Sacrifice" and the uplifting "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" from THE LION KING). Although some may be disappointed at the absence of '80s gems such as "I'm Still Standing" and "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" (sorry, they never hit number one), ROCKET MAN largely succeeds in assembling many of John's finest moments, and serves as an ideal introduction to the pop icon.

The album, composed of 12 No. 1 hits and five favorites, and released with an obvious Sgt. Pepper cover homage, is a plentiful compilation of ageless classics. This comes from someone who's never paid much mind to the flamboyant, individualistic, sunglasses-wearing, costume-loving extraordinaire. ...read the full review Elton John - Rocket Man: Number Ones - CD By: Joe Harris - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/19/2007 9:30 AM A nice anthology that stops short of grabbing the listener by the jugular. Flamboyantly dressed pop master Elton John has released another compilation of his most prominent songs. A few problems aside, Rocket Man: Number Ones is a good collection of John's best loved hits.  Why care about yet another Elton John anthology?  Offering 17 songs, this album is more expansive than his 1974 Greatest Hits record, for example.  It is not a complete collection, but a useful addition to a personal Elton John collection.  Let's further examine the "why care" question....read the full review   Compilation Appearances The Lion King (Special Edition) Vol. 3-4-Best Love Songs Best Of-Laughter In The Rain Love Album Hungry Years Ladies & Gentlemen-Best Of George Michael Vol. 4-Best Love Songs Aida Definitive Collection Mary Best Of The '70s-Millennium Collection Almost Famous Blender Very Best Of Burt Bacharach Look Of Love- The Burt Bacharach Collection Concert For New York I Need You (Bonus Tracks) Bob The Builder Casey Kasem Presents: America's Top 10 Through The Years: 70s Very Best Of Singers And Songwriters Platinum & Gold Collection Concert For New York City (SACD) Then-Totally Oldies 70s Now That's What I Call Christmas!
