"I said that I'm so happy I could die..."

""... she said 'drop dead' then left with another guy." Back in 1977, no one wrote songs quite like Elvis Costello, with his Buddy Holly glasses and that provocative/tongue-in-cheek claim on his first album cover: "Elvis is King." He had the energy, the attitude -- but he also had some of the most memorable, meaningful, funny, punny lyrics under the sun. Here are 22 classic tracks from his first ten years. Now available on Amazon for just five bucks. I hope you're happy now."

"Undeniably great music, but energy literally peters out to slow, maudlin that about pitched me into catatonia. Perhaps I prefer only first 5 years."
