First, thanks to everyone who entered to win a copy of the Super Deluxe edition of
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which was
released today. We've notified the winners but haven't heard back from all of them yet - if they blow it, you may be next in line, so keep an eye open.
All it took to enter was to
sign up with AllMusic and leave a comment on the contest page with the name of your favorite song from
Elton's 1973 double-LP. It turns out you all had a lot to say about the album, and in the flood of entries, all 17 of its songs were chosen at least five times. And as long as we had your votes plugged in, it made sense to put together a visual representation of how the songs stacked up against each other. If the winning song taught us anything, is that many of our readers have a long attention span.
