inthisriver Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I've always wanted to get a bunch of his records but still haven't gotten around to it. Today I was at Best Buy so I picked up the only thing they had, "The Best of Elvis Costello: The First Ten Years." I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I plan on it later and all day tomorrow. Just wondering what ya'll think of him, and if you have any recommendations that would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dariablue Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I like the duet he did with Gwen Stefani. Other than that, I couldn't get into his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Dolly Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 His earlier stuff is his best imo, although i do admire his willingness to experiment. I wasn't mad about that Brodsky quartet stuff. In the early 90's there was an American show called Almost Grown which I was addicted to, the theme tune was a live version of Accidents Will Happen and it was truly beautiful.. i wish I could get that on cd or something.I saw him live once only in about 1980 at Crystal Palace Bowl with Bob Marley headlining.
