From Elton John's 1975 album "Rock of the Westies," the second record album in history to enter the charts at #1. "Captain Fantastic" had been the first. It was at this time that Pete Townshend observed, "Elton could shit bricks and people would go out and buy them." "Rock of the Westies" was also the first Elton John album to be written and recorded under the heavy influence of drugs.
