    Joe Jackson, one of the all-time supreme weirdos of music that too few have experienced. See him live and you've seen something. The chord voicings on this song alone are so simple and novel that nobody has ever come close. Also see "Breaking Us In Two" for a similar execution. Nobody like him ever. Sure, he had hit songs, but mostly unfortunately forgotten to history outside of our little rabid fan base. Lesser artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for sure.

    We're perhaps old, perhaps like all old people we just preferred what we listened when we were young, but as a musician with all the objectivity and honesty I can give, there is not photo between current music on radios and internet and music of the 80's. This title of JJ is a legend of course, but listen to that sound, that sense of melody and harmony, that voice and this uniqueness... Making great music is to make more with less like any form of art, JJ did this title all alone (apart the snare !). And it is still best that all this (c)rap music of today produce with a tons of people like credits at the end of an Hollywood film ...
