Costello in his hay days was darling of critics and his [early] albums was always included in their variety of 'best" album list. But I don't think he did as well with general public, at least not in the U.S. So these songs are snap shot of his peaks in music venues.
Ranked from most favorites:
1. "Everyday I Write the Book" from Punch the Clock
2. "Watching the Detectives" from My Aim Is True
3. "Veronica" from Spike
