Pick ONE song by The Jam

[We're the Stripes]

Smithers-Jones. The bassline. The outro.

 

[fire&skill]

Very true. I think most on this thread will know what you mean but just in case you don't play this...

Not the last time he blatantly plagiarised, sorry 'paid homage' to a track:

[basque seagull]

Yep I am with Stato here.....

 

[The Large One]

And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead a school team to victory
Take my exams and pass the lot!

To be fair, that's the Kinks.

Not that The Jam did a bad version of it, mind.

 

[The Large One]

Anyway, it made preparing for this...



... more enjoyable.

'Shopping' is a great Jam song too.

I put it on my Secret Santa CD, for [MENTION=12196]tinycowboy[/MENTION] and he enjoyed it.

However I then gave [MENTION=19864]Flex Your Head[/MENTION] a copy of the CD, and I'm not sure he was QUITE so keen...

6. Shopping – The Jam. Shocking more like. Horrible late Jam number and should have given enough warning to the world of the crap Weller would go on to release.

You are slacking GR, I didn't expect this thread to get to #77 until you appeared
And where is [MENTION=15192]The Modfather[/MENTION]?

Very good points. Last I heard, the Modfather was at Debenhams checking out the bowling shoes.

Speaking of which my number one listen at the moment is "To Be Someone" sung by Noel Gallagher...

I think I prefer the Gallagher version. Fire and Skill is a great LP.

Well my favourite Jam song changes on an almost, daily basis. Today I will go with Tales from the riverbank

I think any true Jam fan can not have one favourite.

 

[The Large One]

I went with 'Down In The Tube Station' on this week's show.

Different one next week. Don't know which.

It's up as a podcast.

11/15. Got all The Jam, a couple of TSC and not much modern.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Saturday's Kids
Thick as Thieves

Or one of their excellent covers:

Move on Up
Heatwave
And your bird can sing

Slow, dull, lifeless dirge, shameful effort, shouldn't have bothered
