Hey, in my opinion, Ryan Adams is one of the best musicians around. I love his music, I grew up with it, so I guess that's understandable. Not everyone has to agree, opinion is a personal thing after all! :)

@MrBlackBrit Sir Elton is a piano virtuoso that very few can even come close to matching. I've read some very good articles from piano teachers and critics who mostly think his piano talents are rare. He also has an incredible voice which has made him one of the biggest selling artists of all time. 250+ million and counting. Actually, I'm surprised he hasn't sold more but that's still an incredible number. And I love how much he loves his British roots. I wish him and David all the best.

This song always reminds me of the fact that Elton John has made some really great songs before Nikita. Besides Tiny Dancer, for example Goodbye yellow brick Road. Ryan Adams is great. Too bad this is not a real video of the live performance, instead of a collage of fotos.

Ryan is a gifted singer/songwriter. I'm glad he sobered up before he did any serious damage. I love this and their Answering Bell duet. I don't know how Ryan took being told by EJ that his Heartbreaker Album changed his life. How in the hell do you respond to that or even take it in, knowing the life that EJ's had? I would say that's a pretty powerful endorsement of Ryan's musical skills.

And much of the power is circumnavigating his relationship with Taupin…I wrote all of the cuts on the album…and then EJ got the storylines for every cut on View From The Diving Board from Adams…who got them from me

I am not measuring anything based on popularity. I simply said that I don't care for his music. Again, he is OK, but I just don't think he "the greatest of all time." If you like his lyrics, that is entirely your choice. You shouldn't be offended that I don't. The comment about his popularity was just an observation that people just don't seem to be that excited about his stuff. That's all.

So, if people are excited about the music, they're good, aren0t they? ergo Britney Spears, Backstreet boys are the best of all time. People are really really excited about them... People don't care about his music, so what? His quality is there, people like American Idol, Big Brother etc, etc Quality? 0.0000. Van Gogh sold one only Picture to his OWN brother in all his life, people didn't care about him, BUT he is a genious. Again, popularity sais nothing.

i never said he was the best. i just don't think he is just ok or an average musician just because he is not popular, i don't care if you don't like him, but give some good reason to say his average, not that he's not popular...

Oh, and the fact that I am not that into Ryan Adams doesn't make me ignorant or uninformed. "Oh, if you only really listened to him, you'd really see why he's the greatest," is actually pretty narrow minded, don't you think? I have heard him, I just don't like his music that much. Again, he's OK -- just not "great." And I do like Elton John's music, but I don't need anyone, including Elton, to tell me who I should be listening to. Is that how you choose who you listen to?

if you're going to mesaure someones quality by his popularity... then britney spears, mariah carey and company are the greatest artists in the world.... quality and quantity do not have to go together. I really like Ryan's lyrics, much more than Elton's, but i recognize that Elton is unique and a genie, such as Ryan, maybe not yet, not now... time will say. (Bruce Springsteen needed 10 years and 3 or 4 albums to be... The Boss...)

I'll stick with my original comment. I have heard Ryan Adams. And he's OK, but pretty far from the greatest singer/songwriter of the past decade. I like a few odd bands/artists, too, and I think they're the greatest of all time. But no one else does -- I just accept that. And you don't need the radio or labels to sell music these days - this medium works very well. But STILL no one really knows Ryan Adams because not enough people are excited about his music to turn their friends on to him.
@zatoichi101

Sorry, but Ryan Adams is pretty effing far from "probably the greatest singer/songwriters of the past decade." If that were true, everyone would know him. No one knows him. I take that back, aside from a few loyal supporters, no one knows him. Elton John IS a legend and one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. But Ryan Adams? Just another average musician. That's all.
