E.C. & the Attractions would be in my top 5, definitely! Would've liked to seen them earlier, but they finally came to town promoting Imperial Bedroom around '82. KICKED ASS! That was the most involved I've ever seen an audience. Haven't always liked some of his work without the Attractions, but the guy is a terrific songwriter and the Attractions very talented.

Totally disagree. Elvis is a phenomenal writer with some awesome material. Pump it Up and Radio are incredible songs. Elvis P. is not a deity.
