Elton John tops the list for "worst rock melt-downs."  The only people I
know
who likes his post 1975 material are women senior citizens.  Second would
be
Sting, who plays his lightweight jazz material with the utmost of
arrogance,
and thirdly would be Paul McCartney, despite a couple of solid
mid-seventies
albums


I agree with the above regarding Elton's recorded material, but what cool
about his concerts is that he usually pulls out one obscure album track from
the early to mid 70s & plays it live. For most people, that is their
"bathroom or food fetching" time.  That's usually the most exciting part of
an Elton concert for me. McCartney should have packed it in after Wings,
Sting's music is awful after The Police.
