Oooooh yeah ! I have to admit, I haven't liked anything much that he's done since 1985, but everything up till then is good. I even like the albums I'm not "supposed" to: Punch the Clock and Goodbye Cruel World. The latter is a bad album, but "Not the Only Flame in Town" and "Room Without A Number" are still good songs. I cut my teeth on "Armed Forces" as a youngster, so I have a hard time listening to a lot of his stuff now that he's mellowed out.
If you like Costello's 70's/early 80's albums, you'll probably like Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man" and "Look Sharp!", also. Check them out sometime.

Azshi - I reccomend This Year's Model. It's his second album, the one before Armed Forces and I think it is his best. He really mastered his own sound on it. Armed Forces is good, but there are a few filler tracks on it.
My Aim is True is also really good, and I'm currently listening to Get Happy!! and Imperial Bedroom, so I'll let you know what I think of those when i'm done.
