I hear a song on the radio occasionally and I just don't get it. His music is very unique, but not appealing to me.
Maybe I haven't heard the right song?

Thanks to a great drummer,bass and keys early Elvis Costello is very very good. That being said I am only lukewarm about Costello independent of Steve Nieve , Pete Thomas , Bruce Thomas

I would argue first seven. He had a string of seven very good (Almost Blue) to great (the rest of them) albums. He could wright/sing rocknroll, jazz, punk, country, etc

very good (Almost Blue)

My Aim Is True is a fantastic album

He is one of the Goats. I didn’t care for him when I was younger but have grown to appreciate his work more and more.

Do you like Huey Lewis and the news? He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Yeah, he's someone I came to enjoy more as I got older and heard more of him. Some of his late night TV appearances seemed "gimmicky," for lack of a better word, so I really wasn't interested until I stumbled upon more of his music that was still new to me.
Posted on 12/28/20 at 8:50 am to nateslu1
Yea, listen to his first 5 or 6 albums. He was really good. ...great band also.

I did a lot back in school. Doesn't hold up for me other than Oliver's Army and WSFAPLAU. Maybe Veronica as well.

He's come a long way since he called Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant n----r".
