    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but front-to-back, I consider this one of the best albums of all time.

      Just like, lawns, and gardens, you... we learn everybodys right, and everybodys wrong. How do you know when an album hits home to anyone right? My fav album is probably not many peoples either, and so wot. If Joe Rocks Your Soul, then I hope you find lotsa golden tunes posted of his shows. 🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻‍🌾💖😉👌🙏

    The Album was special no doubt. The fact these songs still kick after 40 years speaks volumes because time is the greatest judge. Joe Jackson is a phenom and legend and chameleon all in one.

    I didn't realise it at the time when I first heard Joe around this time as a kid, but the guy had a fantastic jazz and latin influence in his music. People thought of him as a new wave angry young man, but he was much cleverer than that.

    • @rrs8548
      @rrs8548 4 роки тому +3

      Joe Jackson lived in NYC during the early 1980s when Latin music was really hot. It influenced his music at that time. Sadly, this music has never really become mainstream in USA music. This much to my disappointment as a Latino from Brooklyn ~ I have enjoyed _salsa_ all my life and thought that it would be far more popular and influential in mainstream Rock than it became.

    I was in Germany in 1978. Joe Jackson played at this little club. He got into a Row with some of the audience members and stormed off the stage. I don't even think he played 15 minutes. It was very disappointing because I really like his music!

    Big shot, tell you what, tell me what goes on around here
    Go on and get me in the corner, smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer
    Tell me that this world is no place for the weak
    Then you can look me in the eye and tell me if you see a trace of fear
    You gotta look sharp
    You gotta look sharp
    And you gotta have no illusions
    Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
    Okay, what you say, tell me what they're wearing this year
    Go on and laugh at me, 'cause you don't see that I got something going right here
    Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid
    Well, ace, shut your face, maybe you will see or hear
    You gotta look sharp
    You gotta look sharp
    And you gotta have no illusions
    Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
    Big shot, thanks a lot, gotta go, it's getting late
    I got a date with my tailor now, thanks for putting me so straight
    Tell me how they rob me blind on every street
    But check your watch and wallet now before I go and you're too late
    You gotta look sharp
    You gotta look sharp
    And you gotta have no illusions
    Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
