It's been 15 years since I've had the pleasure of seeing the godlike Graham Parker, but you're absolutely correct. Of the artists you've mentioned, I have two Van Morrison albums [my wife's, actually], a single Dylan LP [her's again], but Parker? 13, and I'd like them all! My wife also had some Parker albums before we met, so her taste is excellent. Neither of us would deign to own any Springsteen!
Of the Angry Young Men Of New Wave ® [i.e. Jackson, Costello, and Parker] he is by far the most consistent as well as the least pretentious of them. I own three Jackson albums, own and enjoy about 10/12 Costello albums, but would like to own GP's complete output.
