- "A Slow Song" From ‘Night and Day’ (1982) Despite the two big hits, the song to lead our list of the Top 10 Joe Jackson Songs is a deep cut. Owing more than a nod to the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody," "A Slow Song" finds the narrator in a club, where he's "brutalized by bass and terrorized by treble," as it builds to a gorgeously cathartic climax.
- "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" From: ‘Look Sharp’ (1979) "Steppin' Out" may have been his highest-charting song, but, over time, "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
- "Steppin' Out" From ‘Night and Day’ (1982) Jackson took a Graham-Maby-plus-drum-machine groove, added some shimmering keyboards and rode it to No. 6 for his only Top 10 hit.
