During the early 1970s, Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote some of the greatest music of that era, and they also had a great band of rocking musicians. Madman Across the Water has some top pop hits, like Tiny Dancer and Levon, but it also has Razorface and Madman Across the Water, which were not hits, but hard edged and powerful songs. Indian Sunset, All the Nasties, and Rotten Peaches had a western sound similar to the Tumbleweed Connection album.
