Elvis Costello, I don't get it.

Dude can't sing and makes awful music. Not sure how anybody can dig the music he makes. Feel free to dispute my claim.

That he makes "awful music" is a matter of taste, but I don't see how you can say he can't sing. He has a very expressive voice that can communicate a wide variety of emotion.

he was part of punk/new wave. you didn't have to be a good singer. that was the whole punk mantra.

I dont mind his voice, but love his tunes...

I love Elvis....he puts on a hell of a show! Got to see him open for The Police here in Houston couple years ago.
If you haven't heard this album, you need to give it a try..Amazing!

I was never a big fan. But I saw country/bluegrass show last year and it was incredible.

I like some of his stuff but I'm not an uber fan. But the guy can sing.....not an American idol voice....which I think is very vanilla. But his phrasing is on par with Dylan.

Alison is my favorite song of all time.

Back in the 80's he was one of the coolest, most respected and most prolific composers/performers.
Sure he's not a great singer, but neither is Springsteen, Bono, or many other rock singers. It's the style of what they do that carries them. You don't have to like it, but I love some of his stuff.

EC, beast.

I like Alison and Everyday I Write The Book, that's about it.

I'm not a fan at all but I don't really like any of the whole punk/new wave thing. So I guess my stance on him makes sense

He became dead to me the day he married Diana Krall.

I admit that I bought and really enjoyed "Armed Forces" when it came out in, what, 1979 or so? Tried a few more albums after that and lost interest. He is quirky, but I don't get his mass appeal or staying power.

He's hit or miss for me, he's done a lot that I like and also a lot that doesn't connect at all. There are some gems among the songs I like, though. One that hasn't been mentioned:

Yea. I mean I don't like EC, and I mean not even a little bit. Seriously there is not a single song by him that I can tolerate for more than minute or so, but to say he sucks or makes "awful music" is just ignorant. He posseses immense talent and is influential on a huge level. No one can deny that. I respect what the man accomplished. I just never want to hear his music.
