What are you streaming tonight?

I was like that last night .
Sitting in the hot tub with my outdoor Bluetooth speaker at the ready.
Decided the one hit wonders thread was topical so dialed up a " one hit wonders" playlist via Amazon.
It had a LOT of the songs mentioned in that thread, most amusing and entertaining blast to the past.

@uberwaltz - I love "Spike". EC is one of my favorite artist (seeing him again later this month) and "Spike" is in my top 5 favorite EC records. "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" is an absolute classic song. Right up there with "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" in my list of best songs ever......

Reubent.

Really only just starting to truly appreciate Costello over the past couple years along with Nils Lofgren and Nick Cave.

Guess I am getting old.... Lol.

@uberwaltz - Elvis Costello has a rather large catalog of albums. I have different friends that like all, some and none of the catalog. One of my best friends, who has thousands of records, says "Imperial Bedroom" is his favorite record. For me, it's not in my top 5 list. So who knows what, and why people value particular records.

For me, my top three Elvis Costello Records are:

Spike
King of America
All This Useless Beauty

I'm not an aficionado of Nils Lofgren or Nick Cave. Give me some recommendations to check out. I only have the Nils Lofgren live acoustic record (which is fantastic).

I love Elvis Costello.  His records take up a lot of space in my collection and I have multiple copies of a few of them, including a number of the MFSLs (which honestly aren't that great). 

My Aim Is True was a fantastic debut, so unlike anything else at the time and such great songwriting.  Armed Forces and Blood & Chocolate are two of my other favorites. 

He's great live and I love that he's always experimenting and fearless about crossing into other genres.  Unlike many artists who have a relatively limited period of creativity, he's still putting out great music.
