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...

For onw I'm happy it's ranked low...It gave underated albums a chance...and in my opinion it's not that special anyway, I'm quite happy with the results. I think If everybody took a stab at it, WIWC, TDM, SPIKE and PTC would've had a better score, they're fan avourites!

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!...

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.

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.

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...
