Elvis Costello's 500

Add to my lists | Print this list

Elvis Costello put together this list of Albums you need to own for the November 2000 issue of Vanity Fair. I find it one of the most eclectic and thought-provoking "best of" music lists I’ve ever seen. While it is always nice when a pro confirms your own high tastes, the discoveries this list will prompt are the most rewarding
