If I want to hear good piano led songwriting, more likely to turn to early Billy Joel.

EJ had his moments, but in between them...

Jon Lord 1941 - 2012

I guess that's why they call it the blues

That's about it..

Rocket Man is probably his best song (imo). I would also add Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding to the list.

Yeah, there's probably several more. He's been around for long enough. Every now and then he gets it spot on and other times he produces crap like Passengers.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Too Low For Zero is a well structured song, not bad for an 80's hit.

^ You know, I once had a lovely Tri-Fold yellow vinyl of this album years ago, lent it to a friend (yeah, risky business...) who then lent it to one of his friends. Boy was I pissed with this. I never did get it back. It was a pretty good listen I recall, but I eventually moved on from ol' Reggie. I still insist that the 17-11-70 album is a treasure, even down to the rendition of Honkey Tonk Women.
Once when I performed in a 'battle of the bands' competition (we lost ) we did Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. Dee is very good on bass, me, I prefer Pete Cetera coz he is plain kick-ass.
