Joe Jackson is incredibly awesome. I couldn't really pick, but all of these are way up there:
-"Look Sharp!"
-"Is She Really Going Out with Him?"
-"Happy Ending"
-"Real Men"
-"Be My Number Two"
-"Don't Wanna Be Like That"
-"Breaking Us in Two"
-"I'm the Man"
-"Memphis"
-"Nineteen Forever"
And a nod to his version of "The Harder They Come" because it's just a cool song all around

I voted for
Breaking Us in Two
but it's really hard to choose between my three faves:
Steppin' Out
Is She Really Going Out With Him

Why are you so surprised? It's not like I said I hadn't heard of The Beatles.

"Steppin' Out". The Jumpin' Jive album is pretty good too. I like "What's The Use Of Getting Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)" :D

Steppin' Out will always be my fave from him. Breaking Us in Two would be second and Is She Really Going Out with Him? would be third.

Three years later, I have changed my mind.
"Breaking Us In Two" and "Steppin' Out" are now tied for my favourites by this guy.

Other:
"Pretty Boys"
This appeared on the soundtrack for "Times Square" (1980), not to be confused with "Look Sharp!" album cut "Pretty Girls." "Pretty Boys" had a fast-paced ska rhythm with lyrics foreshadowing MTV:
Pretty boys - on my TV screen
Teeth so white and hair so clean
Pretty boys - sing and play guitars
Pretty boys get to be big stars
How do you rate my sex appeal from one to ten
Is my image just a bit confusing
Maybe I should get a facelift, start again
Maybe I should trade my pointed shoes in
'Cause talent don't count
For Pretty Boys
Those promo people got a lot to answer for
You can take your face and see just where it fits
Be a pretty pawn in someone else's war
Your baby blue eyes - somebody else's wits
Equals success
For Pretty Boys
I wanna see a human being on my TV set
Want some action for the fat and thin man
They're getting closer but they ain't got robots yet
Just a hero with a smile like a tin man
No brains and no heart
Just Pretty Boys

Joe certainly got it right with 'Pretty Boys', they're all looks and no talent.
