One of those 80's songs, you want to forget, but can't.

When I saw the subject line, the thought that came to mind was “Shoeless Joe Jackson stepping out of the field of corn!”

Actually, I like this album. I saw Joe in a small club, sat at a table feet from his organ and glockenspiel

Bass part is a workout, It sounds like it was sequenced or recorded using a keyboard. There is argument on the net about that.

It’s a good album all around; nice coherent vibe and it still sounds unique today. Set him apart from all the other post-punk rockers as someone with real chops.

“Everything (Gives You Cancer)” is a hidden gem on that album that should have been a single.

Got the Time has always been one of my favorites. Great bass in that one as well.

Summer in the City: Live in New York is a great album recorded at Joe’s Pub that is just a trio and features some of his songs with an interesting mix of covers.

After our kid coined it “tinkling piano”, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I hear this song.

I have a special place for “Be my number two”. That had perfect timing for the woman situation in my life.

I like this song. Have it on my YouTube playlist. Jackson was, apparently, a one-hit wonder.
