Two Rooms: Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin by Various Artists (CD, Oct-1991, Polydor USA)

Didn't notice it was remakes until after I won the item. Most of the remakes are terrible. I would recommend not buying this item.

I am a huge Phil Collins fan and wanted his rendition of BURN DOWN THE MISSION. I was delighted to hear the other songs by other popular artists, whose tributes were just as beautiful as Phil's.

An interresting collection of some of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's hits which left an indeligible mark on popular music throughout the 1970's. Their greatest hits of this era are collected here in performances of other artists who significantly impacted this era. It is fascinating to hear the songs you know so well, given the twist of the artists performing them. Especially noteworthy is Rod Stewart's appearance in this collection .

Everyone has their favorite Elton John song. This collection is some of his best sung by some of the best.
I love this CD. I had it years ago and had been looking forever it seemed to try and find it again. For me, the stand outs are Oleta Adams "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" and Jon Bon Jovi singing "Levon". Both ring every bit of emotion out of the lyrics. George Michael's cover of "Tonight" also can cause chills. I think this will be a great addition to the music collection of any fan of Elton John. I only wish someone like Enya or even Sinead O'Conner had tried to sing "Candle in the Wind". It could have been haunting but I guess no one wanted to tackle that one. Too bad. Perhaps Evanescence might try a cover some time.

I bought this very old CD because I needed the song by Sinead O'Connor "Sacrifice". It is a beautiful song for dancing Rumba to.

Interesting choices for artists to perform these songs. Nothing like the original but acceptable and good music.!!!

I originally heard this CD in a patio club I used to hang out in occasionally in when I lived in South Carolina. I have always enjoyed Elton John's Music since I was a child. I was really amazed at the variety of Artists, and really appreciated that the put thier own Spin on the songs while keeping to the original feel, and mood of the song. George Michael has always been able to bust out on an Elton John song, and make it soar. Let's face it when You want a moarnful ballad performer to tear out your insides, I usually think of Him as one on the top of my list. The Surprise song was the sureal version of Sacrifice, by Sinead O'Connor. Her Haunting voice captures you, and takes you to a different level, ( She has the same effect with Her Version of Vodoo, from Red,Hot+Blue a tribute to Cole Porter ). I had moved to Florida years ago, and had occasionally looked for the song in music stores, but the found out a friend had it while visiting. I recorded the CD, however it had static when played on My Mp3 player. I tried to find it digitally, with no success. Then I realized I spend hours a week on eBAy bidding on Trains, and had forgot they have anything else anone could ever want. I found a brand new copy, and have been able to enjoy this amazing CD of Elton John's music. I highly recommend to others.

I love this album! I owned this as a cassette and am so glad to have it again as a CD. Every version of the songs on here (even Kate Bush's - yes...KATE BUSH's - "Rocket Man") are outstanding and give the listener a new way to enjoy these classic tunes. It truly gives you a new appreciation for the talents of John & Taupin. Seeing which song the artist chose is almost as fun as listening. Clapton's "The Border Song" rocks as does The Whos' "Saturday Night" (and you can understand the lyrics, too!). Joe Cocker, Jon Bon Jovi, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Oleta Adams, Phil Collins, George Michael...they are all on there, plus some others. The two stand-outs for me ahve to be Bruce Hornsby's version of "Madaman Across the Water" and Sting doing "Come Down in Time". This CD is something totally different but but familiar. ENJOY!

Boy was I jazzed to find a copy of this CD on eBay! I have owned it before , but something happened to it and it wouldn't play my favorite song, "Sacrifice" as sung by Sinead O'Connor. So, I purchased it hoping to hear my old favorite again. Wouldn't you know it, the CD was smudged in the exact same place as mine. And I am still waiting to hear that song again.
