what if you could choose all of the studio albums,..no greatest hits or live albums of either springstein or Dylan or elvis Costello for the desert island but you could not include highway 61 or born to run or this years model.......a tougher more difficult choice then one might think....I really believe bruce then comes in third and maybe elvis comes in first by a nose.
Really? Costello is just light years behind the other two for me... I really can't stand the guy. Most of his songs are basically repetitive nothingness. He's not nearly the lyrical storyteller that Dylan or Springstein is, plus he has that whiny obnoxious voice... Dylan clearly doesn't have a beautiful voice to listen to, either, but his songs are just so great, I'd probably give it to him.
If you wanted to make it a fair fight, I'd think Paul Simon would make a better third option than Costello...
