Recommendation for best Joe Jackson records?

"Look Sharp" is pretty much a classic with some great songs.

David Y.

For my money "Look Sharp" and "Night and Day" seem to have aged best.

He came out with a dandy after all that weird shit of 90's I think called "Summer In The City" with just him his drummer and excellent bass player doing all the hits.Greta CD.I also liked idea of getting energy of live audience but with all new material a pretty novel idea amd that was the double LP "Big World.While "Look Sharp" and "Bart Crazy" are great 80's LP's that capture his genius plus the zeitgesit of the times (like say the Eurythmics) they were not really a mature Jasckson.He always had the best,tightest live bands and the double CD of live peformances is great beacuse it plays hist but alo yhou hear te differentt bands ge\he worked with at different time.Studio LP I would pick "Night and Day"

That's a tough one since he has recorded music in so many genres; reggae, r&B, jazz, jump blues, classical, rock, pop, and more. The one you cite is very different from many others. I would go to http://www.allmusic.com and read the descriptions to see what else fits your tastes...
