A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “J”

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “J,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “J,” like “Joy,” “Just,” “Jet,” and “Jesus.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you may not have tried before, you might discover some new tracks.

Heavy, hard-hitting tracks are compelling because you can really feel their power.

With that in mind, let me introduce “Judgement Day.” It’s a song produced by the Dutch music producer Hardwell together with the duo Sub Zero Project.

I’d like you to pay attention not only to the sound but also to the lyrics.

In fact, the song sings about the arrival of Judgment Day, which is a bit scary.

Keeping that in mind as you listen will make the sound feel even more intense and impactful.

A solid, heavy rhythm and a distortion-driven guitar sound.

It’s a track by the American post-hardcore band Hawthorne Heights, included on their 2018 album Bad Frequencies.

It’s hard rock, but the melody is wistful.

Yet you can feel a burning passion underneath it.

Both the music video and the sonic landscape have a grand, striking presence.

In 2003, Helloween, having reclaimed their classic musical style, released their tenth album, “Rabbit Don’t Come Easy.” On this album, Mikkey Dee—known for his work with Motörhead—joined as a special guest on drums.

The combination of Helloween’s signature melodies and powerful drumming results in high-velocity, exhilarating tracks.

Among the pioneers in the history of reggae and dub music, renowned for his inventive melodica-driven sound, Augustus Pablo worked on his first recording with an important figure: Herman Chin Loy, a Jamaican of Chinese descent.

In Kingston, Jamaica, he opened the record shop Aquarius Records and went on to run a label and studio, playing a vital role in the country’s musical history.

Produced and mixed by Herman and released around 1973, Aquarius Dub is known as one of the earliest dub albums.

It has the feel of a funky, roots-leaning reggae instrumental collection, and a key point is that it doesn’t rely on extreme effects compared to the original source tracks.

As an aside, this work is sometimes hailed as “the first dub album ever.” The origins of dub are debated, so it’s hard to make a definitive claim, but there’s no question it’s among the earliest works.

Join Me In DeathHiM

Included on the 2000 album Razorblade Romance.

A five-piece band from Finland formed in 1991.

Because there is a band with the same name in the United States, their name is sometimes written as H.

I.

M.

True to their self-described “love metal,” their sound is hard yet lyrical and even somewhat pop, giving the band a uniquely intriguing appeal.

Hailing from Australia, Hiatus Kaiyote are a top-tier jam band known for their unique brand of soul music often described as future soul.

In addition to the excellence of the two albums they had released as of 2020, they are renowned for their overwhelming live performances; their set at Fuji Rock 2019 in Japan, for example, is still talked about.

At the core of the band is Nai Palm, the sole woman in the group, whose powerful individuality shines as both vocalist and guitarist.

She has a striking visual presence and is a musician of undeniable skill.

She also released a solo album in 2019, which is well worth checking out!
