Did Elvis Jump the Shark or did we jump to conclusions?
Many Costello fans would say Elvis jumped the shark as soon as Goodbye Cruel World, or even Punch the Clock came in the shelves. But I think of it differently. Costello's younger years were a result of drugs and anger. All of his albums have reasons to be, ex: MAIT-TRUST All of these albums wre drug...

All songs from -77 to -87 allowed. Even recently released demos or such (on re-releases). That includes covers. Just post whatever you have, even a top ten if you must (because I don't think this thread will get much attention). I think it would be easier to makea top ten list (everything after #4 g...

I'll agree Elvis is too modest to put himself in a top 100's list. And you're all right, it's just some punk's list I shouldn't care about. I don't really know why it made such an impact on me. But c'mon Oasis better than Costello? One thing is Bob Dylan, Elton John is as far as I'll go...but Oasis!...

Elvis at number 75!?!?!
http://mywebpage.netscape.com/strajnic/artists.htm This is a rather sad topic. My all-time hero, M.Costello himself was rated number 76 in the top artists of all time in the link above. While many of you may stare in glory, I do not. Number 75 is a ridicuale number for someone who should be in the t...

Rank Your Favorite Costello Albums.
:idea: That's right, you heard me, rank your favorite Costello albums. All of his solo, Imposters and Attractions albums are valid (no co-compositions like For the Stars [Painted from memory is valid as well]) I'll post the reults whenever I have enough posts from you guys. You can choose only five....

I don't beleive elvis jumped the shark either. Commercially, perhaps, but thank god. personally my favourite album is Mighty like a rose, and it sold poorly. Costello's best works sold poorly. King of America, Painted From Memory, Goodbye Cruel World, see where I am going? The point is, the public i...

Get happy!!
Get Happy!! is probably the first costello album in which he put a bit more talent into, so i don't see it as a "Costello money maker". It truly is a good album (i love secondary modern). Thx for your reply, and i don't beleive I dislike ANY of his albums, they're all good. But every album...

If Elvis followed up on Armed Forces...
:? Imagine if Elvis continued his punk/new wave/pop music he created on Armed Forces ? Would he be a superstar? Would his music ever beat North? Imagine if Elvis became Britain's Bruce Springsteen! I wouldn't like him, I'll tell you that. I'm probably the only Elvis fan that dislikes his early workd...

Armed Luck
You know, for one, I'm happy Elvis didn't become a superstar. You think he might have come up with Almost Blue if he did become a superstar? Personally, I don't like Armend Forces, it's just a young druged-up Elvis trying to make some bucks with the music that sold, he'll even say it himself! Thank ...
