everday i write the book

discuss.

Discuss what exactly? Elvis Costello?

Top 5 EC records:

1 Imperial Bedroom 2 Armed Forces 3 King of America 4 Punch the Clock 5 Blood and Chocolate

But, all of his stuff is good. PtC may not be the finest work, but I wore a cassette copy of it out last summer :)

If we're talking about Elvis Costello, then all the albums he did that Nick Lowe produced. Elvis and Nick were an incredible and unbeatable duo. Elvis did his best stuff with Nick.

That was awesome. My mom called me from my room to come and watch it. He is really multitalented, a much better host than Letterman!

I loved when he showed his own CDs and he said "This one is from when he was a little boy" and then he showed my favourite "Imperial Bedroom" and I hoped he was going to perform.

That he played "What's So Funny bout Peace, Love and Understanding" was the perfect end to the night.

As I like to say, he's "the real Elvis" ;)

I have about 5 of his albums, they're all spectacular. EC has always been one of those artists who always does something interesting and unique. More than anyone else barring John Lydon, I think he's done more for keeping the original punk spirit of "no barriers" alive. Definitely a worthy entry into the RnR Hall of Fame (even if it is a crock of shit)

He was good on Letterman, but I don't know if I'd say he was BETTER than Letterman. Thank God Dave has chosen some better hosts this time around to sub for him (remember Kathy Lee during Dave's heart surgery? that episode should be burned into the memories of all who saw it, due to Kathy's powerful eye-beams bursting from the screen).

yeah, that episode of letterman is what got me re-interested in listening to elvis c. albums. i forgot what a cool guy he was--and funny!
