YFS - Joe Jackson

OK, I do think this guy is critically overrated, but I do enjoy much of what he offers....

In no order:

1. Sunday Paper

2. I'm The Man

3. Memphis

and pretty much that whole swing CD he did.

Papa your the first person I know who also owns the Swing Album which I found very good.

That's because I love Swing music, old and new. More new than old, but it's all good.

I only saw it for sale in a Fred Meyer store never saw it before or since. I bought it and a few other swing albums. Have you got any Crescent City Maulers ( not sure of this name)
or Bill Elliot Band?

Yes on both counts.

And I thought Joe Jackson was a baseball player. ;)

if ya added the Famous SHOELESS portion of the name you were correct.

I like Joe, although I don't have the swing album -- and I'm a major swing fan :)


I've been diggin' to the Atomic Fireballs of lately -- they kick :sqbiggrin:



My Mom was a big time swing dancer. Her and my Uncle would light up the floor (my Dad, and my Aunt didn't dance), so brother and sister rocked the house.

It was like Saturday Night Fever when they went out there :sqbiggrin:

my favorites for performance were the Cherry Poppin Daddies saw them in small venues several times and it was magical seeing teenagers diggin it, Skin heads diggin it, Punkers diggin it, Myself diggin it and most of all having taken my Father to see them for Fathers day gift and him Diggin them.

1) Is She Really Going Out With Him
2) Cancer
3) Pretty Boys
4) Look Sharp
5) Breaking Us In Two

Yup. I first got Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive LP in the summer of 1983. Then got the CD. Last year I got the remastered CD. I love remastered CDs, and Jumpin' Jive sounds better than excellent.

So reap this righteous riff!

Oh yeah. I second "Breaking Us in Two."

Five guys Named Moe,Jumpin With Symphony Sid, We The Cats Shall Hep Ya. All my favorites.

Pretty Girls
Is She Really Going Out With Him?
I'm The Man
Friday
Down To London
Acropolis Now
Nineteen Forever

Among many others. Joe is one of my favorite recording artists.

Also give props and kudos for his "Jumpin' Jive" recording, but like the liner notes say:

"Everyone should have a Louis Jordan record in their medicine cabinet" :)

And if you don't, shame on you...:sqmad::sqwink:

Who? :sqlaugh::sqlaugh:

I saw Joe and the band here for their Night And Day Tour back in... '83 I think... Awesome show! I play bass and absolutely love his bassist Graham Maby. The album Look Sharp is genius. I'm going have to pull it out again and have a listen, the vinyl that is...

Great, it's 2:30 in the morning after my last Christmas gig and you guys have me watching youtube!

I looked up this one too, by The Knack, live!

YouTube - The Knack - Good Girls Don't

The whole Get The Knack album is awesome! Here's another:

I didn't know the lead singer just had two brain tumors removed, apparently he's doing OK. I want to see them if they tour again. Their drummer died last year too.
