Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I no longer own it, but their original "Zero Hour" ep was a work of garage rock genius. 'Zero Hour' was brilliant. I still have it on vinyl......little good it does me without a turntable, but I don't have the heart to get rid of it. I never understood why 'Great Big World' and 'Zero Hour...

The John Dee Graham, and it's mention of Alejandro Escovedo, reminded me EA's health problems. Does anyone know how he's doing? I know his music primarily through his work with Rank & File and some of his solo stuff, especially 'With These Hands'. Somehow I missed his True Believers days, althog...

Excellent choice! Actual album title is "How Will the Wolf Survive?"

Well, I'm a husband and the father of three boys (one starts college in Sept, another starts kindergarten.....and those are the two oldest!).

Reckoning is an interesting choice. Don't know it. Obviously I should. 'Reckoning is an excellent choice; it's in my REM top 3 along with 'Murmur' and 'Document'. Reckoning includes REM's first hit - So Central Rain - and a number of outstanding songs including 7 Chinese Brothers, Pretty Persuasion...

The Jam - In The City You're obviously partial to a bit of 'raw and early', but this is quite an unusual choice. Is it because you were a huge fan at the time, or do you still play it a lot? For me, it has 2 or 3 classics on it, and the rest is pretty mediocre. As I worked my way through the superb...

Good choice. Don't hear much about Shoes anymore. I haven't listened to them in years, but they were in regular rotation on my turntable back in the late 70's/early 80's. Is much of there stuff available on CD?

Well, I lost count so I've probably exceeded 25, but here are 25 of my favorites. I'm sure I've missed some. They're in no particular order, except #1: 1) The Clash - London Calling The Beatles - Rubber Soul The Beatles - Revolver The Clash - The Clash The Undertones - The Undertones Shirley Caesar ...
