Earthshine Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Recently been listening to Joe Jackson. When he first came out, I thought he was weird. He is New Wave, but also a great Jazz musician and plays several instruments. This is a great tune! Crank it up and dance! Miss those days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1CLZdrFkYQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The only thing I know about him is the cover of Got The Time the metal band Anthrax did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yxA3IgAsgU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love "You Can't Get What You Want". So much going on in that song. I love playing it and turning up the stereo to 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) no pun intended, Joe is the man I've had the great pleasure of seeing him and his band live on two occasions - the last time was when Joe reunited The Joe Jackson Band in 2003 for an album (Volume 4) and tour fantastic musician, and (yeah, over-used phrase, but applicable) under-rated you might want to check out: Invisible Man > from Rain (2008) Bright Grey > from Volume 4 (2003) One To One > from Beat Crazy (1980) yeah... pretty much the whole record, here > I'm The Man(1979) Edited October 17, 2011 by ghostworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've loved Steppin' Out since I was a kid and I love his collaboration with Shatner on Common People. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Night and Day was one of the first albums my dad had on cassette. Loved it. I sure didn't understand what all the lyrics of Real Men were about, but the verse ending with "And if there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left" has stuck with me ever since. What a great commentary about society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
