Luscious Jackson is a band from New York City in the AlternativeDance, AlternativeRock and RapRock genres. It started in 1992 when singer-songwriters Gabrielle Glaser and Jill Cuniff were invited by Music/BeastieBoys to be the flagship act on their newly created Grand Royal record label.

* CreditsGag: In the liner notes to ''Electric Honey'', Jill Cuniff and Kate Schellenbach included endorsements for specific brands of instruments and gear. Gabrielle Glaser didn't have any such endorsements, but is included in this section anyway, with the brief sentence "Gabby plays whatever".

The four-piece lineup recorded one EP and two LP's, the last of which, ''Fever In Fever Out'', was the band's most successful, fueled by the hit single "Naked Eye." LJ's music also started turning up in films and TV shows, including
''Film/{{Clueless}}'', ''Film/ALifeLessOrdinary'' and ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. However, Trimble then left the group, leaving the remaining three to record their third LP, ''Electric Honey''. Sales were disappointing, and according to Schellenbach the increasingly macho nature of alternative radio was working against them, so in 2000 LJ called it quits.

After a few solo records and other projects, the three-piece lineup reunited in 2013 and used a [=PledgeMusic=] campaign to fund a new album, ''Magic Hour''. After that was released, LJ also dropped a children's album that had been in DevelopmentHell since 2006. As of 2017, the ladies said they're working on a new EP.

!!Luscious Jackson's music includes the following tropes:
*BoastfulRap: "Let Yourself Get Down"; see the page quote. It also includes the memorable line: "My toes, so short and sweet/They used to call me stubby, now the lick my feet."
*BreakupSong: "Naked Eye" is a pretty casual one ("You were nothing but a lark"). Also "Energy Sucker" and "Life of Leisure," among others.
*DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: British listeners might think that "Deep Shag" would be the title of quite a BawdySong, but it's actually about being stuck in a bad relationship.

*IntercourseWithYou: A few of them, notably "Summer Daze" and "Under Your Skin," the latter accompanied by a video of the band playing [[HospitalHottie Hospital Hotties]].
*InterspeciesRomance: "Alien Lover" is literally a love song to a space alien, mentioning that she "heard your flavor makes you come off even stranger."
*LazyBum: "Life of Leisure" is about a boyfriend who's one of these, and seems to be proud of it.
*LocationSong: "City Song" doesn't mention New York by name, but that's clearly what it's about (and where the video is set).
*NewSoundAlbum: "Fever In Fever Out" has a kind of moodier, spacier sound than the other albums, partly due to bringing in Daniel Lanois as RecordProducer, partly because Jill was in a glum mood after a breakup.
*OneWomanSong: "Christine," about a budding young musician.
*ShoutOut: "Let Yourself Get Down" includes a boast about being "[[Music/TheWhiteAlbum sexy like Sadie]]."
*SpokenWordInMusic: Used quite a bit. "Daughters of the KAOS" fades out with a clip of a TV evangelist, "City Song" features snatches of dialogue along with street noises, and "Fantastic Fabulous," on which [[Music/{{Blondie}} Debbie Harry]] guest-sings, features a phone message that Harry had left with LJ's producer about her appointment to "sing or something for Luscious Jackson."
*StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "#1 Bum" is a rare example with a male subject ("You're my man [[Creator/JenniferLopez J. Lo]]").
*TitleDrop: While most of the album titles don't appear in the songs, "Mood Swing" includes a slightly altered mention of the album it's on:
->''Fever in and fever out''
->''You're the swinger who brings me doubt''
*VocalTagTeam: Jill and Gabby share vocal duties, with Gabby doing most of the rapping and Jill doing most of the singing.
