Decades: 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, and 2000's

When Elvis Costello's first record was released in 1977, his bristling cynicism and anger linked him with the punk and new wave explosion. A cursory listen to My Aim Is True proves that the main connection that Costello had with the punks was his unbridled passion.

“ Shipbuilding is my favorite. Sarcastic, cynical lyrics with the most beautiful medley. And his voice! Ahh. I'm so glad I discovered his music early. ”

“ A poet. And a playwright 'So like Candy' is a heart wrenching masterpiece. Love to all EC fans. 'Accidents will Happen' was my favourite track as I studied for my English degree ”

“ Saw him at Bracknell Leisure centre about 1978. Not looking forward to geeky guy in specs. He blew my head off. 'Watching the detectives' Awesome. A poet and lyricist. ”
