The Jam.

The best British band EVER. I was highly embarrassed by the Style Council.

 

[Trufflehound]

I'm confused as to why we even need the second and third choices.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

have only really heard the Jam

My Dad is a massive fan of the Jam and has nearly all of there albums ya know :athumb:

 

[Icy Gull]

Copied the Who
Copied Motown
Eventually sorted his own style?

Not a massive fan, although I quite like his stuff.

Does he really deserve the Legend status he seems to have?

*ducks*

That's like saying, who was the best Albion player:
– Bobby Zamora
– Ashley Neal
– Ashley Neal's pet goldfish Brian

 

[Man of Harveys]

Who voted Style Council?

 

[Dandyman]

The Jam were one of the best ever British groups, but to compare a 19 - 24 year old's songs with a 40something year old's output seems a little odd. Wild Wood and Stanley Road along with various individual later tracks are great but come from a different era and outlook than In The City/Down in the Tube Station../Going Underground.

Who voted Style Council?

the guy from the merton parkas was extremely unstylish I thought

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

The Jam, his solo stuff and Style Council don't come close.

 

[The Large One]

I'm confused as to why we even need the second and third choices.

Oooh, showbiz bitch.

 

[zefarelly]

I voted solo . . .I love the jam and liked some style council stuff, but the solo peaks pip it all.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

The Jam spunk all over the style council and his solo stuff. Obviously his solo stuff is far better than the style council stuff.

The Jam are untouchable.

Bruce Foxton always seems so *pissed off when i have seen him .http://85.234.132.19/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60408#

I think he is probably a very bitter man.

In defence of the council, although all of the clothing/image and most of the music was dross, they did come out with a few decent tunes and I'd have to say give me them over the tedious solo stuff anyday. Now where did I put my white trenchcoat?
