You read my mind, Crazy mate! I totally agree with your three artists! Hard to argue with your list. The great thing about Costello, Fogerty and Cave is that they are all active and releasing new albums...not exactly sure about John.
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:most guys tend to have a one tracked mind...always thinking about sex,me, i have a one tracked mind also....and it involves music,either searching for something new, reading, listening to, watching MTV, or simply analysing the charts from years gone by, but today at work i was thinking about artists who always seem to make quality albums and the ones i know i will get value for money from when i invest in those little shiny discs at Coreys store and i came up with a surprising list of quality artists who never dissapoint me, was surprised to find that Neil Young,Paul Weller,Paul McCartney,Elvis Presley and The Finn Brothers arent one of the artists i rated even though overall i rate them as my favourites in my playlists.
i came to the conclusion that:
Elvis Costello
Nick Cave
John Fogerty
are the only artists that i find are consistantly great in their song selection,lyrically and most importantly for getting great value for money when purchasing their albums, so who are the artists who you find match that criteria?
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
