The topic of the thread is "Do you like Elvis Costello's Music?", and that was your response. I'm not going to discuss a disingenuous take.
Also - I showed you three other examples - it's fine if some one does not like an artist/band, but it's uniformed and a bit insulting when those people then try to make up reasons (in a derogatory manner) why some one else does - because its so inconceivable to them that some one could possibly like something they don't.
There’s a lot of music fans out there and most musicians have their fare share of fans for many different reasons and while some of those things may have been true at the beginning- at our age people just like what they like. It’s not about “street cred”.

Seriously, all popularity buys you is bigger crowds and higher ticket prices. No thanks.

Fur sure. He came up with that 70's UK stuff, and the lines blur here and there, but 70's Costello is really just a pop band. His album Get Happy could be a Hall&Oates spin off.

Not sure how to vote I know who he is but not sure ive ever heard one of his songs
Like if somebody stopped me on the street and offered me $100 to sing my favorite lyric or name a song I’d leave empty handed

Well, I agree there. The idea of "street cred" or "being cool" when it comes to music and what we like seems absurd to me, given that we aren't teenagers anymore, haha. That is why I always thumb my nose at the idea of any artist being a guilty pleasure. I like what I like. You like what you like.

I consider overly simplistic, algorithm-driven pop music that I like a guilty pleasure. It's not because I'm trying to be cool, it's because I know I'm being manipulated with simple universals for profit in a medium that I value more than the market. Hence the guilty pleasure.

Spike was one of my first CDs (Columbia House is still waiting to collect) and I listened to that album hundreds of times in 1989. For that alone, I had to vote Yes.
