Posted May 15, 200718 yr I liked his early stuff like - Watching the detectives, Pump it up, I don’t want to go to Chelsea, Radio Radio, Oliver’s Army, Accidents will happen and I can’t stand up for falling down. After this I sort of lost interest in him as his music mellowed.
May 15, 200718 yr Must admit, I liked his early records too, but haven't really listened to his later stuff.
May 15, 200718 yr After the Get Happy!!! album the quality dropped. All his work with McCartney, Bacharach, etc just shows how mediocre he is. The North album is particularly bad but any album from Trust onwards should be definitely be listened to before buying.
May 16, 200718 yr i never really took to him, 'olivers army' was ok, but thats it for me.... i hated 'a good year for the roses'..
May 16, 200718 yr His earlier albums (particularly Armed Forces and Spike) were very good but I would agree that he's not produced aanything of any great merit recently. I'm still waiting for the moment when I can play Tramp The Dirt Down and raise a glass of champagne - and I don't mean the 1975 song by Sailor.
May 16, 200718 yr I really liked 'The Other Side of Summer' for some reason. Not really fussed about him though.
May 17, 200718 yr I'd recommend to anyone getting his Girls, Girls, Girls double CD compiliation album of his career up until 1986. Spike (1989) & Mighty Like The Rose (1992) were patchy and I gave up on him after the Brutal Youth (1994) album.
May 17, 200718 yr I'd recommend to anyone getting his Girls, Girls, Girls double CD compiliation album of his career up until 1986. Spike (1989) & Mighty Like The Rose (1992) think Mighty Like A Rose has just been voted by Rolling Stone as one of the worse followup albums by a top artist in one a poll kinda thing btw its good that people are talking about Elvis Costello as i wanted to do a which is the best elvis poll :lol: so how do you think new singing elvis (Elvis Perkins) compares to old singing elvis (elvis costello) lWa9HwGnV8w Elvis Perkins - All The Night Without Love which would you award a can of R Whites Lemonade and position of best elvis too??? :lol: :lol: http://www.britvic.com/cms/Assets/30ml_R_Whites%20thumb.jpg
