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.

Pops, I also was one of those that didn't get EC and just kind of brushed his music off but my love for T Bone Burnett drew me to him and I purchased the King of America and struggled with that album for the first few listening and then it seemed to click and I was hooked. I still don't get all his music but My Aim is True, Delivery Man, Secrets, Profane and Sugar Cane and The River In Reverse just move me each differently.

My original question was, " Just how good is Elvis Costello", and look where this has gone. I am sorry, I listen to music to get away from this B.S. not to have to give thought to politics or any other discussion outside the scope of the music itself and the emotions that it brings to my life.
