Alphabet Beats #064: J is for...James

J is for....

James are a British rock band from Manchester, England. They formed in 1982 and were active throughout the 1980s, but most successful during the 1990s. Their hit singles include "Come Home", "Sit Down", and "She's a Star" as well as their American college radio hit "Laid." Following the departure of lead singer Tim Booth in 2001, the band became inactive but reunited in January 2007, returning for a new album and international tour. Up to 2010, the band had sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.

Whilst they made some good albums I think it's safe to say that James are primarily known for the quality of their singles - so many great ones (most of them Linked below).
