Just how great is Elvis Costello

Just got thru listening to Secret, Profane and Sugarcane for the umpteenth time and just sat back in awe and you know this album is in the running with at least 5 of his other albums as my favorite Elvis album. I guess my point is I have over the last 10 years became so conscious of what a treasure he is and really didn't give home the credit he deserves and would like to now. Every album is so different and he will take you down the road he wants you to travel.

Declan, Elvis Costello IS the king of rock ’n roll for me. My list of favorite albums from him would read more like a discography than a best of. Read Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink it is a hoot. That guy from Graceland doesn’t even come close to this cat!

Love "King of America" love the irony.

Elvis is an amazing talent. From My Aim True to Almost Blue to his collaborations with Alan Toissant, Burt Bacharach and the gang on The Lost Basement Tapes demonstrate his creativity, diversity and talent.......and a stud to boot with Dianna Krall as his wife. Long live the king!!!
