It's easy to rag on Elton John. A formerly great artist drifting aimlessly in a world content to pass him by, Britain's premier pantomime dame continues to gamely trot out the hits. He's gradually edging towards self-parody as the flamboyant knight of M.O.R. dinner-music, condemned to soundtracking occasional Disney movies and flouncing his way through Royal Mail ads. Indeed, amidst all the bitching and tales of diva-like behaviour, it's easy to forget that musically he's done little of note in the past 25 years - it's hardly a coincidence that the last decent tune he released (2003's rogue hit "Are You Ready For Love?") was a spruced-up 70s out-take.
