round 2 match 14 - Dr Jimmy out

[Doctor Jimmy]

It's not too bad, though I might have gone for different Costello and Waits tracks if I had given it some more thought. Pinball Wizard isn't my favourite Who track either, but since it was the first one I ever heard and the one that had me sold instantly, it holds a very special place for me.

I voted for you David, but it was a good opponent you came up against. I have to say the costello track was a wierd one....

One of the reasons I voted for your selection was because of the Costello track.

i didn't vote for him but yeah it's a cracking track, one of the last ones of his that i rated. Seemed a bit weird seeing it singled out as a weak link

Great album, great track. It would definitely have been my choice of track from the album (or maybe Poisoned Rose ... or Little Palaces).

[Diamond Dog]

I suppose it's that I really don't rate the album that highly, so choosing a track off of it seems odd - to me. If you like the album, fair enough. For me, it doesn't begin to compare with "Imperial Bedroom" or "This Years Model".

Nothing compares to 'Imperial Bedroom' or 'This Years Model'

So why choose a track off of something else?

I fear we may reach consensus here.

"Indoor Fireworks" was actually one of the reasons I voted for Doctor Jimmy's list too. It's a fine song from an underrated album, and I'd always thought of it as one of Costello's most satisfying songs. I was delighted to see someone else thought the same.

To be honest, I would (did) struggle to choose one track from 'Imperial Bedroom' or 'This Years Model'. I adore both albums from beginning to end. I think 'Indoor Fireworks' stands up amongst Costello's best compositions even if the album it comes from isn't in his top league. I think the song is a fantastic metaphor and has a wonderful timeless quality.
