Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Faith No More is a shitty band. Just like all this new metal or skate metal or stuped metal that are all over the world nowadays... oh, and they made some of the worst videoclips i´ve ever seen. Shitty band indeed!!!

Daydream Nation: Yet another Sonic Youth classic. Gorgeous

Every Little (???) Grain of Sand ?

If youre looking for a preachy Dylan, listen 'Disease of Conceit'... what a boring song!

On the other hand, songs like 'Every Grain of Sand' and 'Slow Train' are 'religious' and theyre never 'preachy'. Theyre monumental instead!

Darklands is a good record. But Psychocandy is ten times better. Peace

Its a Jesus And Mary Chain record. You should listen give this one a chance... Have you seen 'Lost in Translation'? The last song on the movie (Just Like Honey) its found here. A great euphoric collection! Classic record. Sad to know that you dislike such records as 'Slow Train Coming' and 'Infidel...

'Psychocandy' is a landmark! Definitely in my top 10 80´s records.
Maybe in the top 5...

Why is that ?
'Jokerman', 'Sweetheart Like You', 'License to Kill', 'Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight'.... those are all classic Dylan songs!

It is not 'Blonde on Blonde' or 'The Freewheelin' but a very good album without any doubt. Dylan´s best 80´s record (better than Oh Mercy). IMHO

Better than 'Stone Roses'? 'The Queen Is Dead'? 'Doolittle'? 'Infidels'? 'Pornography'? 'Murmur'? 'Nebraska'? 'Swordfishtrombones'?


No... 'IB' is much better than any of this!

Thoughts?

Obviously 5 Beyond Believers ---- THAT´S A GOOD ONE
Chocolate On The Tracks is very good too...

I spend the last 4 years of my life listening Dylan and Dylan ONLY! A couple of weeks ago i put Imperial Burlesque in my CD player and i was scare: it was almost as good as Dylan! Imperial Burlesque? You just fused two records together into one! Do you mean Imperial Bedroom (Elvis) or Empire Burles...

Good to see the love for 'Red Shoes' here.
Does he play this one live in recent concerts?

Depends. If I'm allowed to count Watching the Detectives, then that one. That's one of my all-time favorites. Otherwise, cliche or no, I have to say Alison. Oliver's Army has never played a show without playing that song in over 2 years, and I never tire of singing it. It's one of the best melodies...

I spend the last 4 years of my life listening Dylan and Dylan ONLY! A couple of weeks ago i put Imperial Burlesque in my CD player and i was scare: it was almost as good as Dylan! Although i´m still discovering Costello music (only own 5 records) he´s definitely my second favourite artist nowadays. ...

It used to be 'Welcome To The Working Week' or '(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes' but since last week i can´t stop listen to 'Blame It On Cain'. What a great song... 'So if the man with the ticker tape, he tries to take it, well this is what I'm gonna say' Gorgeous sing-a-long chorus, very well ...

>I envy you - so much Elvis music to discover for the first time.

Can´t wait to listen This Year´s Model. Some say its his best work. (though i think its quite difficult to improve Imperial Bedroom. What amazing record)

Youre totally right Poppet...
And IT IS wierd!!!

I was first introduced to the music of Elvis Costello by a top 100 records of all time. 'My Aim Is True' was in number 54 and i thought i might like that Buddy Holy style guy. I was just 14 years old and wasn´t very impressive about the music in there. My newest CD was about to take a long rest... A...
