A bit of a one man band fronted by singer/songwriter Jay K most famous for doing a great Stevie Wonder impression, but nevertheless he knocked up an impressive run of hit singles thanks to some strong songwriting.

Are any of you fans of Jason Kay's retro soul funk outfit or not?

I dare say Jamiroquai won't be admired by the regulars on here. I don't mind them personally, their material got progressively worse as JK's ego got bigger and bigger...

I love Jamiroquai! + Jay Kay's voice, Deeper Underground is my favourite track with Synkronized being my favourite album.
I got into Jamiroquai quite a bit last year, played their Greatest Hits to death during the summer - their songs are so summery and upbeat. I wouldn't say I'm a fan though, haven't really listened to them since. My favourites are 'Little L', Love Foolosophy' and 'Don't Give Hate A Chance'.
Never a huge fan of him, always found him to be a bit of a prat, however I did like Virtual Insanity and Deeper Undergound.

JK's always had an ego though. :heehee: It just gets bigger, and plus Dynamite wasn't too bad.
to me he was abit like queen was to me...... just 'there'. loved 'little l' but thats about all. as tip suggests , he was very 'stevie wondersesque' but thats not a bad thing. i guess he did introduce a different style of music, swimming against popular tide and achieved some respectable success.
