I was just thinking about backup bands the other day. You know who was pretty good was Elton John's band back in the mid 70's. I don't really like Elton John-I think his singing is whiny, and there isn't a single Bernie Taupin lyric that isn't just slightly wrong enough to wreck the song, except for the Bernie Taupin lyrics that are flat out stupid. (I'm looking at you, "Tiny Dancer".) Even so, Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson and Davey Johnstone, together with Elton's piano are a solid unit, and deserve consideration.
