the Psalms during the early 1980s, before establishing the Gin Blossoms. The Jetzons are considered to have helped establish this music scene and The Gin Blossoms acknowledge the Jetzons as a direct influence. Though the Jetzons was his most successful act, Connole has expressed negative feelings about the group. He is not a fan of the band's most popular track "You" which he wrote along with keyboardist Brad Buxer. Connole commented in an interview with the Phoenix New Times, "'You' is so cute and so happy. It's one of those songs that you wish you'd never written." He has also called the Jetzons an "overrated New Wave cover band," further suggesting that the music did not reflect his actual sensibilities, instead being mostly a preoccupation with what was trendy during this era. However, he has also insisted that the Jetzons and his other musical projects were sincere artistic efforts which reflected his tastes at the specific times they were made. When the Phoenix version of the Jetzons broke up, Bruce Connole and Brad Buxer moved to Los Angeles, where they re-formed the band and added musicians, Lloyd Moffitt (bass) and Craig Romero (drums). They regained their momentum and had no problem finding an audience for their music. The Los Angeles version of the Jetzons broke up in 1986. In 2000, the Jetzons were listed as No. 16 on the Arizona Republic's list of The 100 Best Valley Rock Bands. In 2009, Fervor Records posted a few of the Jetzons' previously unreleased songs from the album The Complete Jetzons on YouTube. One of the songs posted, "Hard Times," was recognized by video game fans as sounding very similar to music from the " Ice Cap Zone" theme from the video game, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This unintentionally sparked renewed interest in the controversy which claimed that Michael Jackson contributed music to the game without receiving credit. (After leaving the Jetzons, keyboardist Brad Buxer became the musical director for Michael Jackson.) Sega and Jackson denied Jackson's involvement. However, recent interviews with former Sega composers and executives suggest that fans were likely correct and Michael Jackson was involved in composing music for Sonic 3. However, in regards to the "Ice Cap Zone theme," and its similarity with the song "Hard Times," current available public records from the US Performance Rights Societies ASCAP and BMI show Buxer is listed as an ASCAP affiliated songwriter,
