- “Radio Radio” This Year’s Model. Costello didn’t waste much time waggling his middle finger to the powers that be on This Year’s Model, his first album with the Attractions and second album overall.
- “Mystery Dance” My Aim Is True. In one of the first indications of his ability to pump out lyrical scorchers sans innuendo, Costello’s pleading ode to awkward sex is flanked within a super-charged blues-rock hybrid that to late ’70s audiences was probably one of the fastest songs they’d ever heard; a progenitor to the breakneck pace that many punk and new wave bands would adopt in a few short years.
- “The Scarlet Tide” The Delivery Man. Co-written by T Bone Burnett and made famous by Allison Krauss’ performance of it in the 2003 film Cold Mountain, “The Scarlet Tide” is the sound of the bridging of the gap between Costello’s early ’00s bluegrass leanings and the abstract lyrical depth that’s made him famous.
- “Sulky Girl” Brutal Youth. 1994’s Brutal Youth unveiled the even heavier melodic dedication Costello had given his focus to, and was essentially an Attractions album?featuring Pete Thomas, Bruce Thomas and Steve Nieve along with Nick Lowe.
