Rank This Years Model
Face the music: Rank the songs from This Years Model from best to worst (read: favourite - least favourite).
Face the facts: Radio Radio is on CD1 of the latest reissue, so it's IN. If you don’t rank ALL the songs that are on MY list (English & American versions) I will put in the missing numbers wherever I want. I’m the great dictator. It’s all so calculated. I have a calculator. I will (insert Rebel Rebel riff) return...with the results in a week or so.
1. Lipstick Vogue
2. This Year’s Girl
3. The Beat
4. Night Rally
5. Radio Radio
6. Pump It Up
7. No Action
8. Chelsea
9. Lip Service
10. Hand In Hand
11. You Belong To Me
12. Little Triggers
13. Living In Paradise
(I think Hand In Hand is a better song than Lip Service, but I really like the album version of the latter. I wish they would have played Hand In Hand and some of the other songs as fast they did live. You Belong To Me suffers the most from this, but it also applies to The Beat and Radio Radio. I'm glad my record player has a good pitcher!)

It nearly took a mircacle to get you to stay
It only took my little finger to blow you away.

Between "Lipstick Vogue", "Beyond Belief" and "Love for Tender" for my favorite Elvis Costello song ever. While I feel that TYM is a masterpiece that defines the era of its release yet transcends time, I do not have a song that is even a close second to Lipstick Vogue.
I think that Elvis has a powerful affinity for the first two, because I have heard him play them both live in every show that I have attended (only 4 in total). He seems to genuinely enjoy playing these tunes. The audience reacts in kind.
I do not believe I have heard him play Love for Tender live.

Really hard to rank this one. My list of favorites on this album changes from year to year. After "Spike", it was the second EC album I heard all the way through - believe it or not, on eight-track! "Living" was my favorite back then, because of the funny lyrics, funky opening and soulful chorus: "Here we are living in paradise (paradise!)" Now I think I prefer the outtake on the MAIT reissue.

Again, sorry I'm late. To be completely honest, I've tired of Radio, Pump and Chelsea over the years, but I can't rank them too low.
