[Music] Town Called Malice Going Underground?

[BadFish]

I went to see From the Jam the other week and Malice was pretty early in the set. The end of the encore was Going Underground.

I always had Town Called Malice as the best Jam song, closely followed by Going Underground. Now I have seen a few articles suggesting I am wrong.

Over to you NSC, what do you think.
I wasn't going to give options for others but perhaps I should for all you hipsters.

Now I feel like I have ruined my own question.

Always loved ‘English Rose’ from ‘All Mod Cons,’ a simply beautiful love song.

Voted Down in the Tube Station - all time favourite.

Eton rifles for me, reminds me of living just outside Dachet at the time and playing football on Eaton playing fields and getting chased by the grounds man. No riff raff or commoners allowed etc....

 

[Swegulls]

Hard to choose but picked That's Entertainment out of those above. Other than that I would vote for I Got By In Time. Great band!

This is the correct answer.

 

[The Clamp]

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.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Thick as Thieves.

Game over.

So many great songs and memories, Down in the tube station is my favourite from your list but could pick at least 20.
'Running on the spot' is a great tune.
Weller had those Tories sussed a long time ago.

In what sense are you "wrong" for having a personal preference?

 

[BBassic]

Of the options in the poll it's Going Underground for me but my personal favourite is Carnation.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

From that list, Going Underground. Loads of great songs not on the list, though.

I’m sorry to be that guy, but I can’t let it go - it’s Eton Rifles, not Eaton.

I just meant I always thought malice was more popular that GU.

Apparently according to the poll I was way off.

See I bet they don't make that mistake with their bloody expensive educations.

I am running home for my tea!!!

 

[PascalGroß Tips]

It's a close run thing as the start of Going Underground is amazing and brings back so memories. I was 18 when it was released and still have my copy ... as I do of every The Jam record.

But Tube Station just pips it for me.

 

[Brovion]

Impossible to pick one, I love all the songs on that list.

If I had to really pick just one ...... probably 'Down in the Tube station at Midnight', just edging out 'The Eton Rifles'. Ask me tomorrow and that order will probably be revered.

And a bit of pedantry: There is no 'a' in 'Eton' - and it's THE Eton Rifles

 

[Is it PotG?]

Forget the 'Eaton', it's the indefinite article above that.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Wot no Strange Town? Boooooo...

 

[GrossTurn]

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

 

[BadFish]

I might have to do another poll here. It a Jam song world cup!!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Smithers-Jones was always my favourite.

Guitar or strings version?
