The Delivery Man is # 10.
Here's what the guy writes:
10. Elvis Costello & the Imposters, The Delivery Man (Lost Highway)
If Elvis Costello is the unofficial Dean of Rock and Soul History, the ultimate geek-snob who also happens to be one of its most prolific students, then The Delivery Man is his thesis on the American South. If Blood and Chocolate's sessions had attacked King of America's songs, the result may have sounded like this: razor-sharp guitars gutting a regional tapestry. Songs like "Either Side of the Same Town" and "Monkey to Man" are as masterful as the soul and blues standards that inspired them, while "Bedlam" and "The Name of This Thing is Not Love" modernize the traditional. Costello sings like he's on trial for his life, pleading and panting; the Imposters are his sympathetic jury, juicing the argument that The Delivery Man is one of the Dean's most rewarding records in recent memory.

Quite a good selection, I must say - Cave is # 1 and we've got Brian Wilson, Tom Waits, Ron Sexsmith, Wilco, The Streets, Elliot Smith and Steve Earle in top 20.
