Elvis Costello has aged well.

for sure.
output from 77-86 is stellar
89-2018...meh
Spike aged very poorly
Mighty Like a Rose still kinda good

Nice to see Fire Dances on this thread, played that a ton as a wee lad

How do none of you have My Aim is True on your lists? I feel like I’m on crazy pills.

yeah, was going to give you a hard time about Get Happy.
 ( In 2008, Chris Jones of the BBC gave it a rave review, calling it "Elvis' greatest album" and writing: "Get Happy!! can still be considered the greatest coherent statement he ever created.")

Not a horrible output, but pales to a bunch of his other albums

I do like MAIT, just not in my top 3...had it been 4 would have surely been on there

The reality is that, ranking these for me is arbitrary, and subjective, and situational. There are no wrong answers?

right now, I kind of like how succinct and nostalgic the get happy songs are.

Last night, I spent time with the BSide collection "Taking Liberties": two favorites on there - Radio Sweetheart and Chelsea.

That record is 40 years old this year.

It's hard enough for me to figure our who some of these bands are just based on names of albums. But that's kind of fun. What's not fun it trying to figure out abbreviations of albums.

THAT'S the FUN part!
