Line 9:
* [[Deader Than Disco]]: His 1979 disco album, ''Victim Of Love''. Also an [[Old Shame]].
* [[Ear Worm]]: The chorus of "Levon":
{{quote| He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day, when the New York Times said, "God Is Dead", and the war's begun, Alvin Tostig has a son today}}
** "Rocket Man", "Your Song", "Philadelphia Freedom", "Bennie And The Jets", "Crocodile Rock", "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "I'm Still Standing"...he is a master of the earworm.
** His cover-version of the already earworm-ish "[[The Who|Pinball Wizard]]". It should be noted that it was (and still is) the ''only'' cover-version of a Who song to reach on any Top Ten charts.
Line 19:
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Not many people have heard of ''Empty Sky'', except for Americans (it was released in the US in 1975). His self-titled album is often considered his debut although it was his second album.
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: "American Triangle", about the real-life murder of Matthew Shepard, who was beaten and left to die for being gay.
