[edit] Breaking Us in Two

"Breaking us in two" from his album Night and Day is still, to this day, considered by some to be one of the greatest songs to be written, by anybody, anywhere. It was this song that immortalised Jackson."

Um, neutrality.

[edit] Where do EPs go?

'Real Men' presumably ought to be in that discography somewhere.[1] --Calair 02:00, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discography and Compilation/Greatest Hits albums

Based on AMG's list of compilation albums (here), there are a number that appear to be missing from the discography list:

• Steppin' Out: The Very Best of Joe Jackson (A&M, 1990, 2001)
• I'm the Man: The Classic Tracks, 1979-1986 (A&M, 1995)
• Greatest Hits (A&M, 1996)
• Master Series (IMS, 1999)
• The Collection (Spectrum, 2001)
• 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Joe Jackson (Uptown/Universal, 2001)
• Ultimate Collection (Universal International, 2003)

Were these left out on purpose? Also, should they each have their own 'album' page? --Register allocation 20:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal/Romantic Life

I haven't read Joe Jackson's autobiography. Apparently it mentions his penchant for Real Ale. Did he, by chance, refer to his sexuality? If so, I think that's at least as significant as his drinking and smoking habits. In fact, if it doesn't mention his sexuality, that's of interest, too...especially given Jackson's song "Real Men."
