Joe Jackson A&M, 1979 He didn't have 's way with words, or Graham Parker's blue-eyed-soul-man style. But Joe Jackson's debut showed that he could match his rival angry young Brits where it counted: song-for-song. Is a near-perfect short, sharp New Wave-pop album, toggling from wiry punk ('Got the Time') to witty ballads ('Is She Really Going Out with Him?' ), from social commentary ('Sunday Papers') to bruised romance ('One More Time'). Secret weapon: Jackson's ferocious little four-piece band, especially bassist Graham Maby, who nearly steals the show.
