Interesting. Only two votes for WIWC in the top five.
Make it three...
1. Get Happy
2. Imperial Bedroom
3. This Years Model
4. My Aim is True
5. When I was Cruel
Since I am sequestered away on a desert Island, I thought I would share the views of my good friend "Wilson". He doesn't say much, but he understands me. However, he has very different tastes in the EC collection:
"Wilson's" Choices:
1. Girls Girls Girls
2. Punch the Clock
3. Trust
4. Costello and Nieve Live Box
5. Out of our Idiot - Various Artists
When Wilson is not paying attention, I play his CD's as well. He has never complained. The only reaction I get out of him is when I play "Pump It Up"...which he relates to...it moves him.
"Seagraves OUT!!!"

I disagree.noiseradio wrote:Blood and Chocolate is a better record than Brutal Youth, though I really like BY. But B&C has so many classics. Killer record.
Blood and Chocolate does have the board favourite "I Want You", and one of my personal favourites "Battered Old Bird", but Brutal Youth is filled to the brim with legendary classics(to each his own?).
His voice on "This Is Hell", and (any song from brutal youth) is earth shattering.
The songs on Brutal Youth are superior in structure, vocal performance, and musical delivery than those on Blood and Chocolate.
Lyrically Brutal Youth is Elvis's best work. The lyrics on Brutal Youth blow Blood and Chocolate out of the water. Not only the lyrics, but the seemingly impossible vocal melodies that are piled on and after one another are breathtaking.
I never cared for his voice on Blood and Chocolate(besides Battered Old Bird ofcourse), and the good songs just aren't good enough.
Best of all, "Honey Are You Straight Or Are you Blind" came years before Brutal Youth, as obviously the rest of Blood and Chocolate did... as the songs sound to of been written by a less mature songwriter.

WHAR
have you considered a career in voice coaching?????????
your talents are clearly wasted..
I'm sure that there are international singer-songwriters out who will be queuing up in droves.........
Ps. Just played 'This is Hell' and although the room vibrated a little....the earth failed to shatter...must check the news...

Dear WHAR, I love BY but I think you're out of your tree saying what you do about B&C not being a powerhouse among powerhouses. I'm not gonna argue taste, but boy do I disagree.
Doof (that is you, yes? So confusing..) you seem a great lover of NORTH-- how close to your top five would ya put it? And please tell me you were joking about Mel Gibson.
