'Oliver's Army' is probably my favorite Elvis Costello song. Soooo fucking good.
As far as as Elvis goes, the earlier in his career the better. My personal favorite is Punch the Clock, which was released in 1983, but I wouldn't venture much further than 1987 or so.
The comp The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions is a greatest hits collection on par with Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits and The Best of James. Elvis' work with the Attractions is by far the best; the stuff he did with like the Brodsky Quartet or the Impostors isn't nearly as interesting.
Definitely check out My Aim is True, as well.

Oh, and if you're looking for some chill-out schmaltz, the record he recorded with Burt Bacharach in 1998, Painted From Memory, is pretty good. 'Toledo' from that record is a great fucking song.

So can I assume that Oliver's Army is Costello's "Sit Down?"
That song is just so...damn...catchy.

Haha, yeah looks like it is. '(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes' is pretty fucking great too, though.

Elvis has some serious crap in his catalog. I've never been able to get beyond My Aim Is True, no matter how hard I try. I like his creepy serial killer type stuff, but 80% of his music is bubble gum pop.

You gotta start at the beginning and just move in a straight line forward, and when it's time to stop you'll know.
Elvis is easy that way. Once his muse was gone, it was gone daddy gone.

Exactly correct. I am a pretty massive Elvis Costello fan and I love it all but when it comes to EC, you'll know when it's time to move on.
