What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ELTON JOHN "ice on fire" vinyl, 1985:

chart high: UK #3,  AU #6,  CAN #49, , US #48

in hindsight,
the '80s were a bad/below average period for a lot of established artists,
and IMO, Elton's 80s catalogue suffered more than most...
has to be "soft rock" because this was not 'easy listening', in fact, it was
bloody painful to say the least....
I was hard pressed to really enjoy the ones that did make the grade here...
George Michael appears on two tracks, backing vocals on "Nikita" and vocals
on "wrap her up"...
album was universally panned by the critics but his devoted Aussie and British 
fanbase stood by him (as they always have)…
