Can Anyone Recommend Any Jamiroquai Albums?

I just heard one of their songs, I think it was called Canned Heat and it was completely groovy. I'm not a Jamiroquai fan nor listener, but after listening to that tune, I've been interested in listening to them a little more. Which Jamiroquai albums should I check out first?

I have all his cd's and there all very good. To start it depends on the kind of grove your looking for. If you liked "Canned heat" which has a kind of funky disco beat... start with "Traveling without Moving" which has "Virtual Insanity" and"Alright" on it which put him on the map here in the US. But my personal faves are "Return of the space Cowboy" and "Emergency on Planet Earth" that has an acid jazz feel to it.

My favorite is "A Funk Odyssey". It has an uptempo disco type feel to it.

That's my favorite Jamiroquai CD too.A perfect mix of 70s disco and modern-day electronica.Songs like "Little L" and "Love Foolosophy" are superb dance tracks,and the slower tracks "Corner Of The Earth" and "Picture Of My Life" are incredible.This is probably my favorite CD of this decade (so far).

I never really took much notice of Jamiroquai career but I got given A Funk Odyssey and its a nice little album. Now looking back at all the music he has released he's actually very good artist. Definitely will be getting all of them

I think all six albums are pretty even i quality, all albums have atleast 3-4 songs that are outstanding. My favorite I think though is the their second album Return Of The Space Cowboy. Songs liks "Mr Moon" "Scam" "Light Years" I can listen to all day long."Mr Moon"s bass is the funkiest groove heard for a long time.

Start with Emergency on Planet Earth...

then just pick anything after that randomly...they're all pretty solid releases with the exception being, maybe, "Dynamite"...
