Elton John reveals which of his own songs are his favorites – and which hit he can’t stand

John then praised “Your Song” from his 1970 self-titled album, “because it’s the first hit I ever had,” and also celebrated his song “Blessed” from his 1995 LP Made in England.

But as John struggled to think about another song from his legendary discography that he counts as a favorite, he teased: “Not f—— ‘Crocodile Rock.’ I know that.”
