Aye! Their later stuff is often overlooked but there's definately some gems there. And you're right about 'One', it was a #7 hit in the US back in '89. wink

Jamiroquai (same here)


The J is one of my favorite groups, but you're gonna get a battle over this one. Many orgers are going to say they don't make funk music. Since Zender left the band, I'd say those naysayers have a good argument, tho I love those albums.


hmmm I've loved Jamiroquai since I was a small kid, I guess it might qualify as disco or something but whatever it is I'm forever diggin' it. music nod

Yep! The first five songs on Zenyatta Mondatta are my favorite. "Voices" is my joint! "Driven to Tears" is a hot track, too!

George Michael
Karen Young (Hot Shot)
Peter Brown (Do You Want to Get Funky With Me)
The Clash (Rock the Casbah, The Magnificent Seven)

The J has the most enjoyable albums of any group of the last 15 years or so. I play them over and over again.
