Elvis Costello Fan Forum

No contest really. Cruel Smile got a bye into this rd. Can't see it going any further...

Elvis goes classical v Elvis goes classical crooner

Early Elvis or mid career Elvis ??

Your choice

Well, this is clearly the tie of the round. The winner has a great chance of the cup!

Hot off the press....the draw. Tie number 1 is looking cool!! Ties 2 and 3 are very interesting... Blood & Chocolate v Imperial Bedroom Taking Liberties/10 Hows.. v Out of Our Idiot Juliet Letters v North Cruel smile V Trust Mighty Like a Rose v King of America Punch the Clock V When I was Cruel...

well, strictly speaking the Box Set is actually five CDs making one live album. What is a definition of an 'album' ?

Anyway...my game.........my rules

The DVD is a bit od a disappointment to me. The miming to Still is accentuated by the fact that he sings the other tracks live (and a bit flat IMHO).

Otis - I need to have a split personality....and so do i.

I'm thinking of putting in 2 applications for the spurs job.

Ps. Are you pleased with your Goatee ? Would you recommend one ?

Any shaving tips ?

Not technically an Album, but I had to flesh out the draw a bit!

I am one of those rare souls...a FTS fan!

I know, I know.....but that's a random draw for you...

Hmmmmmm.....Just pretend you've got them if you haven't..

"...but all the applause, is for their name not yours..."

ooohh it is so close.....

KOA is pulling awat - too right as well!

Expected this to be closer. Oh well.
Get your votes in soon. The batch of first round matches will be posted soon.

I wonder what Elvis would say if he could see that most of his post 1986 work is going to go out in the first round ?

This was always going to be a walkover. Get Happy is going to be hard to beat in this competition!

What we are finding here is that some EC fans prefer the rougher edged Elvis to the more polished Elvis. I always suspectd that this would happen. This game is pointless and childish but that was always the point. Cruel Smile could be drawn against ImpBed in the next round. It's a 'no brainer' but I...

Hey Otis....no fixing here. I sat in the corner of my office tearing up little pieces of paper and drawing them out whilst looking at the ceiling.

If you check the draw from yesterday, you'll see that there are one or two closer run things. Armed forces v TYM for example

1. The Hollies were great. Bus Stop a fantastic song.
2. Stephen Stills was/is a 'Steel nose'
3. 'America' is a great tune - one that makes me yearn to visit the place.
4. Art Garfunkel looks like the Devil
5. Everything Spooks said I agree with

No. It's just the basic Album how it was on the day of it's release.

This is an awesome tie!!!!

Could go to the wire. Many of the younger EC fans came in on Brutal Youth and it's a fairly nostalgic record. However, there are those (not me) who regard B&C as his best ever record.

This could be very close. It's KOA for me (easily) but some of you guys and gals crave the simple angry elvis.

Can't see Spike getting a result here. Get Happy is the clear favouriute but strange things can happen in ElvisWorld....
