Late 1970s hits such as "Look Sharp" were energized by Punk, but Jackson's first three albums had an angular, streamlined sound all their own. Recorded after a pre-Swing Revival/Big Band rave-up, <I>Night & Day</I> (1982) was a sophisticated combination of caustic observations and gentle music. His biggest hit, it helped jumpstart Adult Alternative along with Roxy Music's <I>Avalon</I>. After that, each worthy mainstream experiment -- a jazzier work, a guitar-driven tour of modern life, film soundtracks -- resulted in a number of great songs, but drove Jackson further down the charts until he opted out of the pop game altogether in 1994. Albums like the jazz and rock-influenced orchestral song suite <I>Heaven and Hell</I> are intriguing, but rather pointless. Jackson's real talents lie in matching a multitude of musical interests and personal observations with mainstream song craft. - Nick DedinaNew Waveen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:16:19 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2327&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fjoe-jackson%2Fplaylists.rss No one, not even Elvis Costello (his fellow ex-angry young man) has had a more interesting and diverse modern pop career than Joe Jackson.
