[Music] Town Called Malice Going Underground?

[PascalGroß Tips]

Smithers-Jones was always my favourite. Of those listed, Down at the Tube Station..

Great lyrics from Bruce Foxton.

 

[Muzzman]

Down in the Tubestation... for such an upbeat tune, the lyrics are horrifying, especially the last few lines.

"...I glanced back on my life, and thought about my wife
'Cause they took the keys, and she'll think it's me..."

How would they know his address?

I'm more worried about the Atheist nutter writing 'Jesus Saves'.

 

[GrossTurn]

Guitar or strings version?

Guitar.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Strange Town for me - loved the intro.
Malice from the poll.

 

[Muzzman]

How would they know his address?

I dunno, I just assume they either beat it out of him, or he had a keyfob... nicked his wallet with ID in.. lots of ways.

 

[Simgull]

So many others not listed In The City, All Around the world, To Be Someone, The Place I Love, Butterfly Collector.
That’s Entertainment though is the pinnacle for me - just when you thought they couldn’t get any better and they produce a slightly out of character masterpiece. I remember hearing a demo tape and being blown away and unlike some of their output still very much stands up today.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Butterfly Collector or English Rose, for me.

So, none of the above.

 

[Peteinblack]

Down in the Tube Station, but with GU a very close second.

Other (overlooked) Jam greats include: Away From The Numbers, Butterfly Collector, Carnation, Thick as Thieves, and To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time).

 

[Insel affe]

I’ve heard GU thousands of times and still, when it goes into the first chorus.. hairs stand on end.

Not many tunes can do that after repeated listens.

The Birdie song still does it for me, but for different reasons though...

 

[SAC]

To Be Someone and English Rose are usually my favourites but they are all excellent. From the list, That's Entertainment is just ahead of Tubestation for me.

From The Jam are very good fun to see and I've probably seen them half a dozen times over the years (also The Gift, with Rick Butler) .

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Butterfly Collector or English Rose, for me.

So, none of the above.

Both great but as simple as it is I’ll go for Monday

 

[BN9 BHA]

Tough choice, i don’t have a favourite song by The Jam as I like so many.
Definitely hard to name their best song.
If i have to pick one from the list it’s That’s Entertainment, if I was asked again next week it would probably be a different one.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Modern World

 

[BN9 BHA]

How would they know his address?

I'm more worried about the Atheist nutter writing 'Jesus Saves'.

I wonder what sort of person buys curry at midnight, I would be up with heartburn until 5am

 

[Comrade Sam]

Happy Together Now or Running on the spot for me please.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

From the above list, 'That's entertainment' but Thick as Thieves is my all time favourite.

I'd be interested in a poll which includes English Rose, Butterfly Collector, Thick as Thieves, This is the Modern World.........

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I wonder what sort of person buys curry at midnight, I would be up with heartburn until 5am

And what kind of saintly wife at that time of night would be lining up the cutlery, polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork?
Just asking, like

 

[Weststander]

Going Underground was my favourite, then That’s Entertainment came along.

Did it get its chart success as an import or a B-side, it wasn’t officially released as a UK single?

Man In The Corner Shop is also beautiful.

 

[Papak]

Just to clarify, it is in fact "Eaten Trifles"

But I'm Different Now is an awesome tune.

Snap! is quite possibly the most amazing compilation album in the history of compilation albums...
