World Party

Jumbo is even better than World Party's debut -- it has more of a "band sound" (probably because there actually is a band joining master-of-all instruments Karl Wallinger). "Way Down Now," a perfect combination of the Stones and the Beatles, went to No. 1 on the modern rock charts and was probably the single best song of 1990. "Put the Message in the Box" was the other hit, so start with those two and just keep going from there.
