"Fools In Love," "Dreaming from the Waist"

I like the way that Joe Jackson presents his frustration with love in "Fools in Love." The verses are almost non-musical chant or sung a capella, as if he wants to make sure you have understood exactly what he wants to say. He only lets loose in the chorus, but even here he still has a very raw sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGPb7qL-Sck

Dreaming from the Waist one of my favorite songs from the Who because of the tremendous energy put forth by all band members. It's an angry song about getting old - something that Pete Townshend would never do.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awqEiIW7eyo
