    Do you have the ROTSC single with all the different mixes? I'd highly recommend it

    'Cosmic Girl' is probably my fave - love that one. :)

    'Virtual Insanity' does have a cool vid to it (purchased off iTunes). Plus I've also got the 'Canned Heat' vid.

    I have the 'High Times: Singles 1992-2006' singles/best of /greatest hits collection. Some good tunes on it.

    If pushed, I would have to say "Alright," "Too Young To Die" and "Space Cowboy" are my favourite Jamiroquai singles. I couldn't possibly settle for one favourite single though. "Alright" was and still is one of my favourite summer songs - laid back, disco inspired and you've got to love the synths!

    I seem to be in a minority but my favourite mix of "Space Cowboy" is without a doubt the album version, which has a distinctly different bassline, vocal line and tempo from the single/radio mix, often referred to as the 'stoned again' version - very aptly so too! :D

    I was lucky enough to see Jamiroquai on tour a few years ago and maintain that they are incredibly underrated.

    Probably Deeper Underground for me. I love the bass.

    I've seen them live. They were pretty good but I never got into them much.

    Probably "Too young to die" "7 days in sunny june" and "alright".

    Have never been able to listen to "virtual insanity" and never understood why its their most well known song:eek:

    saw them live and they were pretty amazing but towards the end,Jay Kay's cocky attitute put me off:rolleyes:

    I think they went downhill after the first 2 albums. They were good from start to finish. The new stuff I've heard from the upcoming album is a mixed bag - some odd rock stuff going on there mixed with their usual funk style.

    They should also promote the band rather than just Jay Kay. It's all about him and his ego, and that attracts the haters - see Maroon 5 for example.

    Yeah i agree, Deeper Underground is my favourite... Its EPIC. Love the video for it too with JK jumping from car bonnet to car bonnet...

    I disagree though i prefer his newer songs to his older ones... 'Feels just like it should' and 'Give love a chance' they just feel more exciting...

    Love Jamiroquai it's so difficult to choose a favourite, Black Devil Car is one of my personal favourites along with Deeper underground, but anything by Jamiroquai is great in my opinion. ;)

    Another Jamiroquai fan here.

    Deeper Underground, Don't Give Hate A Chance and Blow Your Mind are top of the list. :D

    saw them/him on Jools and had forgotten how good the intro riff to deeper underground was, definitely my favourite of theirs.

    Jamiroquai have an excellent new single out called Lifeline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfhx92A8qf8&feature=fvst

    I have heard it on Pure Radio and, I think, Tameside Radio. I heard Imagine FM play two Jamiroquai oldies on Friday but not their new single sadly.

    Coincidentally, my 3 favourite Jamiroquai singles (Too Young to Die from 1993, Love Foolosophy 2002 and Lifeline from 2011) are all 9 years apart. I therefore have a happy 2020 vision!

    I am probably on a Jamiroquai hype at the moment. I listen to all of his songs every single day.

    I have a lot of favourites, but these are the list of the ones I actually love:

    Space Cowboy (Remix), Virtual Insanity, Cosmic Girl, Little L, Love Foolosophy and Runaway.
    I also love the B side of Virtual Insanity, called Bullet. A bit of an odd song though.

    This.

    The remix by David Morales in 1995 is considered one of the finest remixes of all time.

    I love the very first album a well.

    I do like Virtual Insanity but I think they have much better songs. I suppose I'm just sick of it though.

    As for my favourite... the remix of Space Cowboy is definitely up there. But I think I'd go for Little L, it was the song that got me into Jamiroquai after all. I love that whole album actually.

    Anyone else disappointed in the new album? I admit my expectations weren't that high, but there isn't really a single track on there I like, it all just trundles along without ever interesting me.

    I wasn't overly keen on Dynamite either but at least it had a few songs on it I liked (Don't Give Hate A Chance, Black Devil Car, etc). I also loved the single Runaway from the Greatest Hits album.

    A great band, always had a thing for Virtual Insanity when I was growing up but tbh its not my favourite

    I adore Canned Heat being a disco fan, and Cosmic Girl is fabulous

    Gotta go with Return of the Space Cowboy and Seven Days in Sunny June. The latter in my opinion is very overlooked. I also love Steve's Mac remix of Seven Days too :cool:
