Luscious Jackson, like the old NBA hoopster the band is named after, has always approached its game stylishly but straight, choosing to chuck the tired -and ultimately regressive- gender issue in order to simply get to the heart of the matter-namely, making good music." Billy Altman, in Stereo Review's Sound & Vision, applauded the band for its uniqueness in style, commenting, "From riot to Spice, girls with guitars who make it big in rock and pop tend to do so primarily by flaunting image and attitude. Sara Sherr of the Village Voice described their generation and brand of song this way: "Too young to wear a Disco Sucks button or sequined tube top, they'd come of age as cool club kids or wide-eyed suburban new wavers who understand the Jammin' Gold segue from `Good Times to `Heart of Glass.' Luscious Jackson inside that segue too, making grown-up records for the kids who grew up eating to the beat indiscriminately." They've developed their image in their own way, even stamping to-become a prescription for hipness as they've come of age in their music. The funk-pop music group blends many different influences and elements into its sound, from 1970s disco and bossa nova to 1980s punk and rap. Although they were born too late to notice the basketball star's greatness on the court then, they were impressed later when viewing memorable footage of his moves on the court, especially taking delight in an announcer's mispronunciation of Lucius's name as "luscious." As basketball fans-loyal season-ticket holders for the WNBA's New York Liberty- born during Jackson's time of greatness, the women thought it appropriate to call themselves "Luscious Jackson" when it came time to think of a name for the band they put together in the early 1990s.
