For me "Blues Moves" was his last blast of greatness.
Since then, besides the occasional nice single ("Empty
Garden" was a fav), nothing has really interested me. 

The drag of being a solo artist really....he was Elton
John, and still is...no escaping it. The individual
Beatles were able to slide creatively (I still love
the solo stuff, but it frequently did not come close
to the Fabs stuff together)....while "The Beatles"
remain great and forever young. 

For me Sir Elton John bears no resemblance musically
to the Elton of 1969-1976.

When did Elton jump the shark. His mid 70's music was
such a joy. Lot's of
interesting sounds, vocals and jangles mixed with the
piano work. Those
singles are still great fun to listen to. But now, all
we got is a
professional entertainer. Such a waste.
