| | Joe Jackson Greatest Hits CD Joe Jackson Discography of CDs
A&M's 1996 collection Greatest Hits contains many of the basics in Joe Jackson's catalog, and that may be enough for some fans -- after all, it has "Is She Really Going Out With Him?," "Look Sharp!," "Sunday Papers," "I'm the Man," "You Can't Get What You Want (Til You Know What You Want)," "Breaking Us in Two," "Steppin' Out," and "Nineteen Forever." The problem with the record is what lies around them. What's there isn't particularly bad, although inclusions like a live version of "Memphis" are fairly puzzling, but it isn't representative of Jackson's best, and it doesn't result in a great listen. It may satisfy those looking for just a handful of hits on one disc, but there are better Jackson compilations on the market. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

I remember the day fairly well. It was the end of May 2001 at Ashot Margarian's Blues Bar somewhere around the outskirts of Yerevan, Armenia when I witnessed the last chapter of the great Vanadzor, Armenia rock scene unfolding before me. And, it was all by accident. A tall lanky local Armenian kid with an electric guitar in his hand walked up to the stage followed by a Peace Corp volunteer from Hartwick, NY. They played a few numbers and promptly delved into some English pop music to the tune of "Down Under" by Men at Work. I wasn't really impressed by the music, instead focusing on the commotion going on in the audience. A healthy mix of locals and American Peace Corp volunteers were hitting the dance floor hard with plenty of drinks to go around. Suddenly the door opened and a small, compact, distinguished looking fellow came into bar and took a seat in the back of the room. The crowd of about 100 inside the bar erupted into spontaneous applause and suddenly the chants began. LAV ELI, LAV ELI, LAV ELI! Since the term "Lav Eli" has many meanings in Armenia, I had no clue what was going on around me. After the band onstage finished playing their set, they hopped off the stage and the tall, lanky, kid walked over to the table where the commotion was aimed at and shook the hand of the man who just walked through the door. At that moment, the place went nuts and again the chanting began. LAV ELI, LAV ELI, LAV ELI. The pair walked toward the front of the room, picked up their guitars, and went onstage joining the house band. The two friends and former band members from the earthquake devastated city of Vanazor, Armenia were finally back together after a 2 year hiatus from their legendary rock creation, LAV ELI. They played a few numbers and then left the stage to a thunderous applause. LAV ELI is a rock band from Vanadzor, Armenia that was formed in 1996 by Mher Manoukyan and Gor Mkhitarian. Previously from the band SNACK, they picked up two members from the group ALQ in David Grigoryan and Vahe Terteryan and formed their classic lineup for a demo recording in 1997 entitled "The First Lav Album". This limited edition cassette of two hundred units was printed in Armenia and had twenty-one songs- ten in English and eleven in Armenian. It became a local underground classic in the hands of kids and adults alike who craved an original Western rock sound that was homegrown and Armenian. In 1999, another LAV ELI recording was made in the name of "Essays", this time with the help of a local Armenian rock champion named Artyom Ayvazyan who gave it heavy radio airplay on the influential Yerevan based Radio Burg program on 107.1 FM. Although the recording was never released in any format, burned copies of the "Essay" sessions passed hands within a dedicated rock music listening mass throughout Armenia. ...
