18 Oct 04 - 11:36 PM (#1300307) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Folk Form # 1 I must admit, I read it all the way through. Like a lot of guys (read Nick Hornby's Hi Fidelity to see what I mean) I make out lists all the time. I am in the process of making out my own top 500,so you may not hear from me for some time. |
18 Oct 04 - 11:38 PM (#1300309) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Folk Form # 1 The first two albums by Elvis, My Aim is True and This Years Model would be in there, of course. |
18 Oct 04 - 11:49 PM (#1300314) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Steve Latimer Nice to see that he mentioned Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers and Hank Williams. |

19 Oct 04 - 09:06 AM (#1300601) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: GUEST,James A Very interesting list, I enjoyed reading it and it reminded me of much that I had forgotten. However I was amazed at who was missing..no Carl Perkins, Steeleye Span, Fairport, Martin Carthy, Bruce Cockburn, Warren Zevon. Everly Brothers,World Party, Patti Smith,Jerry Lee Lewis,Maria Callas,well, all a matter of taste and exposure I guess. Still, thanks for posting it, very thought provoking. |

19 Oct 04 - 10:43 AM (#1300653) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: GUEST You have missed the point about my racist ramblings. It refers to a comment Costello made in the early 80s in an argument with Stephen Stills, when he called Ray Charles a "jive as nigger." |
19 Oct 04 - 12:14 PM (#1300722) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Gern Well, then, I did indeed misread, as your name predicted. But it was much too easily done. Does the quote come from Elvis or Stills? How drunk was he at the time? |
19 Oct 04 - 02:24 PM (#1300833) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: GUEST Quote was from Costello- and it was a drunken remark. He has apologised for it and Charles has graciously accepted. Still, Costello should not have said it, even if it was to wind up Stills. |
19 Oct 04 - 04:04 PM (#1300952) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: GUEST,Tunesmith Elvis is obviously a contradictory character as I recall him accusing Jackson Browne of only writing songs to make him more attractive to women! BUT, he still included a Jackson track in his list - the wonderful " Opening Farewell" . p.s. I sort of knew Elvis when he was Declan McManus in Liverpool way back when. |
20 Oct 04 - 04:21 AM (#1301451) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Big Al Whittle Remember his Dad from PARADE OF THE POPS! It was a sort of workers playtime with pop music. Elvis's Dad and a few other singers supplied most of the music backed by Bob Miller and the Millermen. I think the BBC weren't allowed to play much recorded music at the time Memories of rushing home from school at dinner time to hear special guests THe Beatles - they'd just play a track - didn't sound as though the Fab 4 were actually there. There used to be nice little C & W residency by the Lorne Gibson trio. |
07 Nov 11 - 02:19 PM (#3252240) Subject: RE: Review: Elvis Costello's topp 500 records From: Musket I suppose if I had a top 500, one of his would be in the top 10, even one of my top five.. Veronica is a wonderful yet sad song, and for someone to write a thoughtful respectful song about the plight of old people in care with dementia makes a change from the usual subjects. I have always been a big fan of his, so interesting to read about where he is coming from. |
