Thanks for listing Chris, Sat. My favorite today. Chris Isaak--The epitome of cool. I love this guy. I have 5 of his CD's: Always Got Tonight, Forever Blue, Heart Shaped World, San Francisco Days, and Speak of the Devil. Very, very talented. Reminds me of Roy Orbison.  Seriously, he has some d**n fine songs, some of my favorites include Go Walkin' Down There, Don't Make Me Dream About You, Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing, Somebody's Crying, Graduation Day, Speak of the Devil, many many more. Give him a listen sometime. You'll find there's more to him than just "Wicked Game".  Janet Jackson--Some songs of hers I like, some I can't stand. I have mixed feelings about her. She's talented enough, but just seems to me like her image and dance moves are more important than the music. Some friends of mine went to see her in concert a couple of years ago, and wanted me to go along. Tickets were like, 75 bucks, so I said no thanks. Not really into paying that much money just to watch somebody dance to pre-recorded music and lip-sync for 2 hours. LOL! Jermaine Jackson--Must be tough to be in his little brother's shadow all these years. I do enjoy a few of his songs. Had the 45's of Let's Get Serious, and Do What You Do. Joe Jackson--Never really a big fan. My brother was into him big time, and I got kinda tired of hearing his music blaring thru the house when I was younger. I do like Is She Really Going Out with Him, though. Reminds me of Junior High School, when this one group of guys would sing it at the top of their lungs while walking thru the school hallway whenever they'd see some hot girl walking with some nerdy guy. LMAO! Michael Jackson--I loved Off the Wall and Thriller. Couldn't get enough of either of those albums back in the day. Also loved him in the Jackson Five way back when. Then, he went nuts and totally screwed up his life, and his career, not to mention his nose.  He's definitely "Wacko Jacko" these days. PLEASE tell me that isn't the Who's 5:15!! I dunno Kath....Wicked Game REALLY turned me off! That Joe Jackson story is a RIOT!! It's Adam worthy! |

What?? How can you not be familiar with Chris Isaak?? A very talented artist, and pretty easy on the eyes...  Fave ~ Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing
Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty ~ She is one of my all time favorites, and dare I say, will probably have a career that outlasts her brother's. When I was in high school I had a Rhythm Nation 1814 cassette tape and wore that thing clean through!! No seriously, like I tried to play it one day and it was very warped and slow and sounded a little demonic. Favorites ~ all of them!! But I especially like: Anytime, Anyplace; That's the Way Love Goes; Miss You Much; Love Will Never Do... (and how gorgeous is she in that video?!! Got to love Herb Ritts...)
Joe Jackson ~ I always thought he was so weird looking!!
Jermaine Jackson ?? ~ Gee Adam, why don't you ask us about LaToya while you're at it?
Michael Jackson ~ Thanks to the advice of my beloved, I have learned to separate the art from the artist and can still appreciate the music of my youth, but that dude seriously belongs in a freak show.
Although I wore out my Thriller cassette, my favorite album of his is Off the Wall, and my favorite song is probably Keep It In the Closet. And actually I kind of liked Scream (with Janet.)
What about The Jackson Five???

Howdy, Sat! Chris Isaak: I really like "Wicked game"! Janet Jackson: Had many great songs in the last 20 years, I really like her soft ones like "Again" and "Come back to me". Jermaine Jackson: Did a good job on "Daddy's home"! Had some other good ones as well. Joe Jackson: I love "Steppin' out" and some others! Michael Jackson: Ah, yes. While not great the last few years, he was top-notch when he was a lot younger. Love his early solo stuff like "Got to be there", and his 3 albums from 1979 to 1987 were winners as well! Billie Jean's one of the all-time best! Also LOVE 1995's "You are not alone". BR |

Chris Issac-He got a lot of play on alternative stations before "Wicked Game" became a hit. But what type of music is he? He seems influenced by Elvis a lot.. My last girlfriend liked him, but she mostly listened to goth/industrial music. I did like his show, though. Janet Jackson-"Runaway" is good. I have her "Decade" CD for that one song. When I was in High School, all the cheerleaders listened to her, so basically I just see her as "chick music". (No offense to the ladies...) Jermaine Jackson-He did some good hits, including one with Devo, "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy". Joe Jackson-My Fave today. I have his Greatest Hits CD (the cover looks like the Frampton Greatest Hits, only blue instead of red). He's changed styles SO many times and always comes up with interesting stuff. When I first saw a picture of him, I thought he looked like Bing Crosby. Faves: Look Sharp, Right & Wrong, Sunday Papers, Got The Time, Steppin' Out, Breakin' Us In Two, You Can't Get What You Want, Friday, I'm The Man.... Michael Jackson-I kinda feel bad for the guy. He has no idea how screwed up he really is. I blame his abusive father for a lot of it.. Aside from that his best stuff was with the Jacksons (are we going to do them as a group tomorrow?). I do like "Off The Wall" a lot, and "Thriller" did have some good songs (Human Nature, P.Y.T.), but nothing he's done since really did much for me... I almost got that Joe Jackson collection, until I found out that Another World is on the 2 disc set! We sure are gonna do the J5 tomorrow!! |

Chris Isaak - I was hoping you'd list him. I like him very much. He's amazing to see play live. His "San Francisco Days" album is awesome. And did I forget to mention that he HOT!  wooo... Faves: Two Hearts, Can't Do A Thing, 5:15, Blue Spanish Sky, Somebody's Cryin, Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing, Blue Hotel Janet Jackson - Outstanding career. I just love her but I'd have to say that I never listen to her stuff. Doesn't mean I don't like it though. Faves: Pleasure Principle, If, Love Will Never Do, Got Til It's Gone Jermaine Jackson - I really only remember "Let's Get Serious" and my reply is - No, I'd rather not. Joe Jackson - Now we're talking. I learned to love Joe from my mother who is fanatical about him. Also a great performer live. Faves: It's Different For Girls, Steppin Out, I'm The Man, Me & You Against The World Michael Jackson - His talent is wasted because he's such a mega-freak. I love love love the entire Off The Wall album however and I always will. Faves: Workin' Day & Night, Off The Wall, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, P.Y.T, Ben, You Can't Win (from "The Wiz") Ok, it was YOU that listed 5:15, yet I asked Kathy if it was the same as the Who song! LOL! Salright-Kath already knows I'm nuts! LOL! Jermaine-LMAO!! Good line! |

Here I go... Chris Isaak--his voice rather gets on my nerves, and unlike 70's soft rock, he just doesn't change the world for me. "Wicked game" is all right. Janet Jackson--From my high school years to recently, always got into her music. A most talented dancer, unforgettable videos such as "Control"! Amazingly at first, I didn't rave over her debut top 40 hit "What have you done for me lately", but it's grown on me somewhat. Even my mom likes her talent! Faves: Nasty (boys) (should rank in my top 200) Miss you much Diamonds (with Herb Alpert) Control Because of love Rhythm nation Someone to call my lover (LOVE the "Ventura highway" sample) When I think of you Alright Come back to me Again (pretty ballad) Way too many others... Jermaine Jackson--He doesn't seem to get the repect he used to, and maybe, just MAYBE, that's a GOOD thing! ;D Like his voice even more than Michael's, and have quite a few 45's of his. A keeper. Faves: Let's get serious (written and produced by Stevie Wonder) Tell me I'm not dreaming Daddy's home Dynamite I think it's love Let me tickle your fancy Do you remember me Close enough to perfect That's how love goes I'm just too shy You're supposed to keep your love for me Don't take it personal Never raved over "Do what you do", especially the SAPPY single remix! Joe Jackson--and I have a 1-CD compilation of his! Great to hear an artist doing so many different styles. Not the best voice, but his versatility more than makes up for it. Faves: Steppin' out (I've ALWAYS LOVED it!) Is she really going out with him You can't get what you want Breaking us in two Jumpin' jive Look sharp It's a beautiful night for girls (I think that's the title) Be my number two Nineteen forever Right or wrong Happy ending Memphis I'm the man Others, I'm sure... Michael Jackson--I could write a book on him, but I'll hold off. My fave artist here, and despite objections from others, he truly desrves the title "King of pop". I refuse for all my life to even THINK of his personal life, I simply just LOVE his music. Ever since I was a toddler, I couldn't get enough of him. I will probably write about the Jackson 5 upcoming , but as for his solo stuff, he is ROYALTY. Faves (by album): Michael Jackson- Rockin' robin Got to be there I wanna be where you are Best of (released 1975)- Just a little bit of you (The kid voice started to go!) Off the wall- Rock with you Don't stop till you get enough Off the wall Working day and night Burn this disco out She's out of my life Thriller-(ALL of them!) Bad-(ALL of them) Especially LOVE "Another part of me" Dangerous- Black or white Heal the world Remember the time Jam Will you be there (my mom's fave of his) In the closet Who is it Dangerous HIStory- You are not alone Scream (with Janet) (Hated by many, but I still LOVE it!) Childhood Blood on the dance floor (on his remix album) and... 2001's "Invincible" album--one of my top 21st century albums so far! 2000 watts (KILLER!) Speechless (PRETTY ballad) You rock my world Butterflies (great 80's retro feel) Cry You are my life Break of dawn Heaven can wait Invincible YOW, you certainly know your Michael, don't you?? |

Didn't you people read what I wrote? I did not say I am not familiar with him. I said I know nothing about him. I am also familiar with Avril Lavigne, but I know nothing about her! I know that one horrible yoddeling Wicked Game song from Isaac and that's it! Watch it smartass, or I WILL ask about LaToya! But most people's complaint about Michael is his activities with children. That is NOT art. *Steps off podium* |

Not a day of faves for you, eh? Michael certainly stepped down from the days of J5, eh? Not that Joe Jackson is bad (he isn't) but when he is the favorite artist of the day, the pickings be pretty slim. That's ok, I remember days on YL when every artist was good, and it will happen again here. It all balances out in the end. |

Chris Isaak- "Wicked Game" had a really sexy video, I have to admit. I just wish he had more hits.
Janet Jackson- She's actually my favourite of the Jackson clan. I didn't really get into her music at all until 1993's "If" came out. After that, I really became a fan. My personal favourites are "Rhythm Nation", "Escapade", "If", "That's The Way Love Goes", and "Runaway". Plus, she actually looks roughly the same as she did 20 years ago, albeit some facial surgery. (Still, it can't compare to the hack job on MJ)
Jermaine Jackson- "Dynamite" was pretty cool, but as I said with Chris Isaak, he just disappeared after releasing a couple of hits.
Joe Jackson- You know, I didn't know he HAD a singing career! (LOL)
Michael Jackson- Yes...he's kooky, and dangerous...but he released some kick ass tunes in the '80's, all of them from "Thriller" (LOL) Admittedly, I did like a couple of his hits from the '90's, like "You Are Not Alone", for example. Unfortunately, personal problems have a way of interfering with success...and well...you need FOX to tell your story.

On Amazon, there used to be a great recommendation to go with his "HIStory" CD. It said, "3 people recommend the book, (Something generic about sexually abused children) instead of this album." But I just checked and it's not there any more. |

Seriously, he has some d**n fine songs, some of my favorites include Go Walkin' Down There, Don't Make Me Dream About You, Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing, Somebody's Crying, Graduation Day, Speak of the Devil, many many more. Give him a listen sometime. You'll find there's more to him than just "Wicked Game". 
He's definitely "Wacko Jacko" these days. 
Fave ~ Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing
wooo... Faves: Two Hearts, Can't Do A Thing, 5:15, Blue Spanish Sky, Somebody's Cryin, Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing, Blue Hotel
