Re: Elvis Costello & Bob Dylan


That must be why I have 28 studio albums by Elvis Costello and 4 by Van
Morrison. To me, Astral Weeks is perfection, but then so is All This
Useless Beauty. Both men are wonderful artists, but I think Elvis has a
broader range of material. And, in my book, he can be a lot more FUN!

True, Van Morrison brought a jazzy post- r&b essence to songwriting, with a touch of garage thrown in. But a couple of good albums do not make Van Morrison one of the great singer songwriters of pop music.

Well it would be hard to find a singer-songwriter who rates Costello
above Van Morrison. Van is one of the greats and Costello is
comparatively a minor artist.
