Two contemporaneous artists for you today, They both ploughed a similar furrow as solo artists and with bands with one, rightly or wrongly, finding much more fame that the other.
In the hotel corner we have the less famous of the two Graham Parker. Here he is from 1976 with his band the Rumour and the song Hotel Chambermaid from their 1976 album Heat Treatment.
In the motel corner I give you Elvis Costello and the Attractions with Motel Matches from the 1980 album Get Happy.
Arguably although they may nearly have been equally talented only Elvis really made the big time I was a massive Elvis fan back in the day now I am more inclined to listen to Graham Parker. He seems to be a nicer person.
"Contemporaneous", get you! Two great tracks.
