[[Elvis Costello]] was one of the acts at the forefront of the [[New Wave]] movement, though unlike many [[New Wave]] artists, he's been able to keep his fame and popularity going by experimenting with styles, even writing an [[opera]] (though not a very well received one) and a traditional [[Jazz]] album (much better received). He's also had his share of controversy, with his battles with alcoholism and his unsavoury comments (immediately apologized for) about [[Ray Charles]] among others. He's got a reputation as a bit of a self-centered jerk, though in songs like "[[Lipstick Vogue:Elvis Costello & The Attractions|Lipstick Vogue]]" and many cuts on ''[[Imperial Bedroom (Album):Elvis Costello & The Attractions|Imperial Bedroom]]'', if you take the lyrics at face value, it makes one wonder that perhaps no matter how much you hate [[Elvis Costello]] as a person and how much [[Elvis Costello]] hates someone else, he might hate [[Elvis Costello]] even more. Many people consider his work with [[Elvis Costello & The Attractions|Attractions]] as his best work, though his other albums are often popular as well -- particularly his collaboration with [[Burt Bacharach]], ''[[Painted From Memory:Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach|Painted From Memory]]''.

Band Biography

[[Elvis Costell was one of the acts at the forefront of the [[New Wav movement, though unlike many [[New Wav artists, he's been able to keep his fame and popularity going by experimenting with styles, even writing an [[oper (though not a very well received one) and a traditional Jazz album (much better received). He's also had his share of controversy, with his battles with alcoholism and his unsavoury comments (immediately apologized for) about [[Ray Charle among others. He's got a reputation as a bit of a self-centered jerk, though in songs like "[[Lipstick Vogue:Elvis Costello & The Attractions|Lipstick Vogu" and many cuts on Imperial Bedroom, if you take the lyrics at face value, it makes one wonder that perhaps no matter how much you hate [[Elvis Costell as a person and how much [[Elvis Costell hates someone else, he might hate [[Elvis Costell even more. Many people consider his work with [[Elvis Costello & The Attractions|Attraction as his best work, though his other albums are often popular as well—particularly his collaboration with Burt Bacharach, [[Painted From Memory:Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach|Painted From Memor.
