Trainspotting in the Observer (London)  "Hands up if last week you caught the year's most smackably dumb TV moment, the BBC's playing, during its grisly great-Britons thing, of Elvis Costello's lovely version of 'She' over the Maggie Thatcher item. Costello loathed her so much he wrote a song about wanting to jump on this woman's grave, and I'll be there to make sure he does, shaking his hand, or at least trying to while we bounce.

EC listed in Stereophile 40 Essential Albums (pop category) Elvis Costello: My Aim Is True / Columbia/Rhino (1977) Hey, maybe all rock critics do look like Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus (so said brainiac David Lee Roth), but Costello's blend of dense Dylanesque lyrics and punky, snarly rock music - called New Wave - was a revelation in the late 70's, when heavy metal ruled (hence Roth's envious comment). This debut album contains "Watching the Detectives," "Welcome to the Working Week," and "Alison," whose chorus of "Whooooa-ooooa Alison/I know this world is killing you/ Whooooa Alison? My Aim is true" inspired countless dorm-room singalongs. While his 1986 masterwork, King of America, is a close second in terms od songwriting, this album's brashness and out-of-nowhrere quality make it unforgettable. Other albums to make the grade: The Beatles - The White Album David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust... Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Steve Earle - Guitar Town The Grateful Dead - American Beauty Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? Michael Jackson - Thriller R.E.M. - Document Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town Bob Marley - Exodus Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (partial list) (submitted by: David Caplan) 1:54:43 PM
