I'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that my top 5 is echoed in the results (albeit in a different order). I thought My Thief, buried as it is between the rightly least popular and very eighties-Burtsy Such Unlikely Lovers & The Long Division, had no chance against This House Is Empty Now and the title track, for instance.

I also think it's a pity that so many seem to dislike The Sweetest Punch.

Rankers (so far): King Hoarse, Fishfinger king, Emotional Toothpaste, wardo68, Branst, alexv, Who Shot Sam?, normabuel, bambooneedle, And No Coffee Table, legman open to offers, Extreme Honey.

I seem to miss these rankings, as I'm not so regular over here, but toledo #5?!! Jesus, that's one of my top 10 Costello songs. And ditto on Sweetest Punch, ove it.

this album was hard to get into at first, but seeing those songs stripped down of the 60s MOR arrangements, I really noticed the songwriting in them and I love it now.
