I just love the cover.

Mmmmm also rather great

Deftones - "Diamond Eyes"

Favorite song on there "Sextape". Most mellow song on the CD.

Elvis Costello - Punch the Clock

First time I've listened to this for quite a while. Uses just about every trick in the book when it comes to having a stab at the commercial market in the early 80s so, yeah, the majority of it's pretty rubbish. 3 or 4 songs on it are among my favourites though, so it's worth having for those.

Bulldog! Been meaning to ask you for a while, best Elvis Costello album(s) to start with? He has too many and I can't pick one

Yeah, he's been hella prolific down the years. As it happens, I'm making a beginner's guide mix for him as I type this, but there are four albums of his I'd call wall-to-wall, 10/10 classics myself;

Get Happy
Trust
Imperial Bedroom
Spike

And plenty more perfectly good albums as well. It's probably best to work your way towards those four by getting hold of My Aim Is True, This Year's Model or Armed Forces first though, particularly regarding the bottom two (which are pretty difficult albums).

Needless to say, if you have any trouble finding any albums, just give us a shout and I'll see what I can arrange!

I knew you'd come up with the goods

I just hope I take to him, I don't really know what his sound is. I just heard 'pub rock' not entirely sure what that means. It just reminds me of lad rock.. pub rock = drunken sing-alongs?

Get Happy, Trust, Imperial Bedroom, Spike.. Hmm decisions decisions!

Yeah, too bad I was at work when I decided to glance at this thread. Nothing is more scary than porn popping up when you don't expect it while in the workplace.

I guess his earliest stuff sounds a little bit like pub rock. Not much so though. If you wanna start with any of those four albums, I say go for Trust or Get Happy first. The other two are a bit much for the first-timer.

I'll PM you a link to get you started fairly shortly...

I went for Trust, second track in. Thanks

but I'm listening to them on Spotify so I won't need a link, unless I decide I really like and then I'll get some of his stuff into my iTunes.
