One song that I barely remember that's probably about 30th on the list of best Joe Jackson songs from his first several albums.

One song that I had repressed that isn't even good enough to show up yacht rock compilations.

One song I've never heard.

And one song that reminds me of Jennifer Jason Leigh getting boned by Damone.

Jackson Browne easily wins a pretty weak bracket.

Damone!
 
Im pretty sure it was the stereo salesman from the mall in the dugout. Damone was too quick

res ipsa loquitur
 
I mean I think Boogity and everyone would agree that there's Toto Africa and then everything else in the 80s.
 
Im going with Harold Faltermeyer in my Mom's Oldmobile Cutlass with my older brother driving burnin doobs oh yeah boy!

 
Looks like I'm the only Joe Jackson fan here. One of my friends from Wake turned me onto him back in the early 80s. Also had a clingy ex girlfriend that was a huge Jackson Browne fan, so that kinda turned me off to him.
 
Wow! Amazing how shitty the music was during my middle and high school years!
 
Here's a two hit wonder


and Love is Like a Rock. Love the hair hat.

I recently listened to Tears for Fears Songs from the Big Chair, and that album has aged well.
