Often compared to current Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker had a career that was full of recognition but he never seemed to reach the heights he probably should have. His Pub Rock based New Wave probably should have been bigger than it was, but he was always in someone else’s shadow. With Costello in the Hall, the chance is that he will be overshadowed again.
