Elvis Costello lista os 500 maiores álbuns da história da música

Elvis Costello iniciou sua carreira tocando em pubs pela Inglaterra no começo dos anos 70. Com a banda de apoio The Attractions, em meio ao turbilhão do punk, ele lançou seu álbum de estreia, "My Aim is True" (1977).

Em seus primeiros trabalhos, ele fez um som que mesclava o punk e o new wave com power pop, mas ao longo da década de 80 se destacou também com baladas e músicas mais românticas. Na ativa até hoje, já lançou mais de 25 álbuns, o mais recente deles "The Boy Named If" (2022).

Em 2019 ele foi condecorado Oficial da Ordem do Império Britânico por seus serviços prestados à música, recebendo de Elizabeth II a medalha OBE. Entre os diversos prêmios já recebidos por ele, estão o Grammy em 1999 e 2020.

Não há dúvida de que Elvis Costello é um grande nome da música britânica. E justamente por isso, conforme publicado pela Far Out Magazine, a revista Vanity Fair o escolheu para a missão de listar os 500 maiores álbuns da história da música. A lista está disponível no final da matéria. Se você se interessar por algum disco e não souber o que ouvir dele, Costello tem uma sugestão inusitada.

"Vá para a faixa-título ou parta do princípio de que todas são igualmente maravilhosas. Quando estiver em dúvida, toque a faixa 4 — geralmente é a que você quer. Essa é uma teoria que estamos pondo a prova."

autor da lista avisou ainda que ela pode (e deve) incluir mais de um álbum de um mesmo artista. Afinal de contas, "seria impossível escolher apenas um título de Miles Davis, Beatles, Joni Mitchel, [Bob] Dylan, [Charlie] Mingus e etc."

"É uma lista do ponto em que comecei a ouvir ao ponto em que parei de ouvir — há lacunas enormes e pontos cegos. Como de costumo, eu valorizo mais compositores do que músicos, mas qualquer relação de grandes cantores deve incluir Johnny Hodges. Essa lista me fez ouvir todos eles de novo."
