    most times...The Queen is Dead...,or Strangeways
    Here We Come...are listed in Best Off Albums...

    My fav. single...eh... Hand in Glove...closely
    followed by the 'Headmasters Ritual'...The Smiths
    most underestimated single...

  • Mr. Costello,like Morrissey, has excellent taste in music. I've been turned on to many great musicians by discovering their influences.... God bless 'em both.

    Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
  • I'm tripping! Costello's my favorite musician and Still Ill IS my favorite Smith's song, specially the Rank version. Strange how things just fit.
    I must have some really good taste :-)

  • If I remember correctly Costello once said "Morrissey comes up with the best song titles around. The trouble is he forgets to write the song."
    Elvis hasn't written anything of worth after SPIKE.
