I had never heard of these guys before...burnt listened to the track you posted. Not bad at all! Worth looking into.

Bandwagonesque (their second album) is their best- it even topped Spin magazine's "Best Of" for 1991... besting Nirvana's Nevermind. Part of me wishes it was a little noisier and grungier like their first record (and like the way they played the songs live), but 25 years on it holds up as one of the best power/pop albums ever made. The albums before and after it (A Catholic Education and Thirteen) are solid records too.

That was the first JA I ever heard, it was either 87 or 88. I had just recently got a CD player and it was around Christmas so I asked for a few cd's but my brother had borrowed this from a freind of his and it was all I played that christmas week. Still their best album by miles......they peaked on this one.

Agree with several of these, VH, County Crows, Zeppelin, Son Volt, etc. No one has said Pearl Jam 10 yet?

Or this one:

Excellent album. I've been listening to some of the other stuff that I ignored at the time and liking it a bunch. Great talent, but it seemed he tread too close to MJ and Prince to be allowed to share a part of their audience.
