YMMV / Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

• Ensemble Dark Horse: "Harmony", the final track on the album, is one of Elton John's most popular songs, despite never being released as a single.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While Elton was already popular in the U.S. when it was released, "Benny and the Jets" managed to cross over onto the R&B charts due to its unusual, funky rhythm. Elton John was subsequently one of the few white artists invited to perform on Soul Train.
• Values Dissonance: "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)" revolves around the narrator bragging about a sexual tryst he had with the titular sister, who's explicitly stated to be 16 in the song. While it passed by without issue in the UK, where 16 is the age of consent for heterosexual couples, it can raise eyebrows in the US, where the age of consent is commonly believed to be 18^note it varies by state, but a mix of Hollywood Provincialism and 18 being the highest age of any state means that it's treated as the de-facto age of consent nationwide.
