The 1986 Listening Post - Elton John - Leather Jackets

Elton John - Leather Jackets


#488/2137
November 3 1986
Elton John
Leather Jackets
Genre: Contract Fulfilling Garbage Music
2.25 out of 5


Highlights:
Angeline


I’d always known that there was a deep connection between Queen and Elton. I think Freddie joked that he wanted to start a band called Teeth, Hair and Nose with him and Elton and Rod Stewart 
What I didn’t know was that Roger Taylor and John Deacon lent their talents to sitting in on a mid-80s Elton track, “Angeline” and it is probably the only song on the record that has any pop. It’s the second best song about someone named Angeline. ;)
These songs all sound like Elton if he wrote new music for an appearance on American Idol.
