Just thought of this one and I am ashamed it didn't register with me earlier

My dad used to play this album all of the time when I was a kid. I've always thought it was flawless. Simply beautiful.

 

Maybe it was the over saturation (pretty sure my dad played this repeatedly) but now the song American Pie is pretty much 7 minutes of hell for me.

I've never been known around here as an Elvis Costello fan, but his first four records may well be the pinacle of the singer/songwriter genre of the rock era.

And, while they may not be perfect, he followed that with Trust, Almost Blue AND Imperial Bedroom, three more very good to excellent albums. I've always thought his first 7 albums were criminally overlooked when people discuss the Greatest Winning Streaks in music; it's right up there with The Stones, Bruce, R.E.M and Zeppelin's runs imo.
