When I was in junior high in 1981, my brother put this album on and I listened to everyone one of their albums after that. No other band like them. Few bands evolved as quickly as The Jam with such a short life. One of the greats out of England they were.
I was born just a few years too late and in the wrong country to truly enjoy this band. Same goes for Skids. Luckily the right age for Big Country, just not lucky enough because the US did not catch on to Big Country. What a loss. The Jam was my first punk album, even if they don't consider themselves punk. And I agree, Paul Weller is hot!
How I wish Australia had a music show and presenter as intelligent as Tony Wilson when I was growing up. Poly Styrene, Wilson, the Jam. I would have killed for that. In 10 or more years of watching our shithouse equivalent, we got 99 per cent pap, some great early AC-DC, the Ramones once, and Iggy Pop once. Then again, the Iggy interview is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Clearly on speed and driving the presenter mad. On Youtube if you type Countdown and Iggy.
They didn't fit into the punk rock standards? Why then did the sex pistols rip off the riff from" In the City" for "Holiday in the Sun"?
I agree with the whole concept that The Jam and the Buzzcocks and Generation X were pop punk and the Pistols were more punk punk-but they still had damn catchy tunes! That's probably why I love punk so much-even the supposed "non-commercial" variety is damn catchy!
but the tunes were good. And I do love bubblegum! Hell one of the Ramones biggest influences was the Bay City Rollers! They covered a 1910 Fruitgum Companty song! Nothing wrong with manufactured pop music. I feel like punk was the next chapter of glam anyway. Since it was more about a look than musicianship-the songs ended up being really good because the bands weren't trying to be -well, musical. What' that one Gen-x song where he says "a good musician is a disease"-luv that.
I guess that's my thing, cause I dig those pre-fab bubblegum and glam acts, so I can overlook the "monkees" aspect-but I can see where it's a lot lamer that the pistols-a band that claimed to be so anti-establishment-were put together by a boss. I could deal with a band like Gen-x or the Boys or 999 if I found out they were pre-fabricated because they didn't have a "message" like the pistols claimed to have. What bands do you like besides the jam? .
@trapadoored oh yea i could to if their music was the same i think i just dont like the pistols.i like undertones(sorta) the new york dolls just got into gen x the kinks um and some other crap.
Yeah I love the undertones!- gen-x and the kinks-funny how "Father Christmas" is like the best punk xmas song after "merry xmas I don't wanna fight tonight"by ramones or "oi to the world" by the vandals-yet the kinks often arent even credited as punk. New york dolls was big 4 me in high school! love "glam-punk" I reccomed 2 u the Stepmothers (rare but look 4 "you were never my age" album) and the Jags-there is also a rad website called the "mod pop punk archive" I reccomend.
@trapadoored wow cool The Stepmothers are know being blasted through the neighborhood. Cant find much of The Jags. Ive gone to mod pop punk archive looks cool. thanks!
@trapadoored im gonna order stepmothers "You were never my age" on vinyl but need to wait till i have money. Yea i found some footage of them playing.
I want to get the vinyl tool-but I also needed it for driving music. Plus my record player in my apartment kinda sux-it's one of those Crosely radio/record player jobbies. I have a couple 70's 80's turntables at my moms house-but they would need repairing to get to work.
I'm ok with the player I have for now though-I mean If I wanted perfect sounding music I wouldn't listen to punk rock in the first place.
-oh, and if you don't already listen to them I recomend "the Only Ones"-great band that did "Another Girl, another Planet" - and I know I already mentioned "The Boys" -but I found an awesome compilation of them on amazon with like 35 songs(dunno if it is available on vinyl or not tho)-some of them holdover re-recordings of songs they originally did as "the HollyWood Brats"-(which I also reccomend finding material from because they were like the U.K's "new york dolls"
Ihavebeer4breakfast,the jam released this 6months before the pistols released holidays in the sun,so if anything the pistols basically ripped the jam off...
Saw them do this in their day at Skegness. It got so hot that, when the doors were opened at the end, it looked like the place was on fire as all steam poured out. Previous night saw them at Loughborough when they turned up late, and met Paul in the gents beforehand throwing up in a washbasin. He said he was tired and always got nervous before going on. Suppose he has his own en-suite wash basin to throw up in now.
what looks and sounds better than three good looking guys in black suits playing their ass off,,,, remember Amsterdam Paradiso 1982, thanks Rick for inviting me,
The Jam were best until 1980, then it was downhill after. Sound Affects album isn't a patch on their best album Setting Sons, but the double A side single of 1980 is great
I saw them on their first ever tour, they were a great live act at the start, but even then it was clear that Weller was the autuer. calculating he ditched the Tories for RAR, and the band for his solo career when it suited him. Funnily enough as the jam progressed so their live shows deteriorated as the band was unable to sustain (play) wellers vision.
zilvafish...mtv fucked up music 'cos it was about the image,not the passion.now kids are doing it diy on their computer which is great,but there is no comparison to a live "analogue" band.
I saw a video on TV of The Jam in '78 - maybe it was this one - and i completely connected with the band, which is something that did not happen with most of my fellow Americans. Bought All Mod Cons, then saw them live at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus in '79. They played for about 40 minutes and it was like a hurricane from the stage. An amazing show, one of the best I have ever seen. Thanks for posting this and reminding how great this band is.
@Dmpotter10 me too,sometimes people dont understan me and say im different :(but in youtube i find a lot of people who likes the same things i like...i was born in the wrong generation too!
dont know why people constantly refer to music and life being better 10, 15, 20 years ago. it just means your old and past your prime. deal with it. arctic monkeys are great. as are arcade fire. having said that, the jam were v. good. p.s. i'm only 3 and a half!
@weeyindel Partially agree with you. Its true that not all is lost nowadays, but if given the opportunity of living in modern time days or in the 60-70's I wouldn't think it twice man! I mean small faces, the jam, the kinks, the pistols, joy division…
At this time i was shittin in my pants but i love their records first heard them on the football factory soundtrack they rock. better than this moody blue style council songs
It was ok while they at the time (Mr Wheller) carried the Punk Cart that asisted them on to better riches! - sorry, Mr Wheller! Just look at the back-catalogue!
I was going to see them on the In the City tour at The Starwood in Hollywood ($5 tickets!) but then I got sick the day of the show and couldn't go. Didn't get a chance to see them again until their last American tour at Perkins Palace.
@mandel94 It's heavier than the faux bro core metal because it is aggressive without forcing it. It's more metal than metal. It's punk/metal/rawk because it is honest. You don't have to play Marshalls and have a mullet to be metal. Andre 3000 is metal.
all day long i listen to the jam, but when you sit and watch them aswell in clips like this, the enjoyment level goes a couple of levels higher. you can see the energy that normally you can only feel
Did that DB call american punk myopic, and suggest that everyone just copy one band's style? Wow, he misses the point of music entirely, not just punk.
Crikey, Tony Wilson introducing (RIP 2007) Mr Manchester himself. So glad to have been part of that era. I am still a fkd up punk with a heritage that includes the Jam, Hacienda and Wigan Casino, Ibiza and the best of millenium House. Luvvin it.
@TheFlimOfFlam IP and Stooges were around before the NY Dolls. Not discounting them as a major player, but Iggy was pushing it before the Dolls had even formed.
ENERGY!!!!!! Something that seems to have disappeared fromm the charts(a joke) and music in general.young people we need u to do something for fuck sake! its as bad as before punk
The Jam are awesome. Paul Weller has a great voice & writes brillient music. They were not as big in NZ as some other British bands & I don't know why - they were simply the best!!!
@heyjudette Youtube can. Use your mind. Close your eyes, put on the music, and stretch backwards from behind your eyes. Keep stretching...keep stretching. I swear to jesus it works.
@heyjudette No, you have to enjoy it at the time while it's there. I often think like that but I was there and it's not only about the music, it's about your age at the time, your family, freedom, lack of responsibilities, hardships, difficulties and stresses. I became 15 years old in November 1977 ; great times then
Not exactly. They were regarded as part of the wave of "punk rock" that flooded the UK during the late 70's. The difference was that they didn't dress the same way other "punks" did, and that they also blended other styles into their general punk rock tempos. Within a few years, all the main punk bands were doing this anyway. Listen to London Calling or any of the Ramones mid-later albums and you'll find very little that speaks "punk". In this sense, The Jam took the cake in punk.
That being said, The Jam did identify as a pretty underground and independent band and remained contemptuous of the establishment. Listen to songs like "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" or "The Modern World" and this should be clear. They also partly owed influence to the mod revival of the mid-late 70's, which often overlapped with punk.
Admittedly, they did have a tendency to spout a few conservative elements but this was for publicity, not out of conviction.
Best example of this was their announcement of voting for the Conservative party. Paul Weller himself isn't particularly fond of the Conservatives and openly slammed David Cameron (not unlike Morrissey of The Smiths) for identifying with his song The Eton Rifles.

The Jam are awesome. Paul Weller has a great voice & writes brillient music. They were not as big in NZ as some other British bands & I don't know why - they were simply the best!!!

@heyjudette Youtube can. Use your mind. Close your eyes, put on the music, and stretch backwards from behind your eyes. Keep stretching...keep stretching. I swear to jesus it works.

@heyjudette No, you have to enjoy it at the time while it's there. I often think like that but I was there and it's not only about the music, it's about your age at the time, your family, freedom, lack of responsibilities, hardships, difficulties and stresses. I became 15 years old in November 1977 ; great times then

the jam is awesome but the whole idea of punk was to be underground and independent
omid11 10 months ago
@omid11 but the Jam, particularly Paul Weller were always fairly "anti-punk"

@thedizzies1
Not exactly. They were regarded as part of the wave of "punk rock" that flooded the UK during the late 70's. The difference was that they didn't dress the same way other "punks" did, and that they also blended other styles into their general punk rock tempos. Within a few years, all the main punk bands were doing this anyway. Listen to London Calling or any of the Ramones mid-later albums and you'll find very little that speaks "punk". In this sense, The Jam took the cake in punk.

That being said, The Jam did identify as a pretty underground and independent band and remained contemptuous of the establishment. Listen to songs like "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" or "The Modern World" and this should be clear. They also partly owed influence to the mod revival of the mid-late 70's, which often overlapped with punk.
Admittedly, they did have a tendency to spout a few conservative elements but this was for publicity, not out of conviction.

@thedizzies1
Best example of this was their announcement of voting for the Conservative party. Paul Weller himself isn't particularly fond of the Conservatives and openly slammed David Cameron (not unlike Morrissey of The Smiths) for identifying with his song The Eton Rifles.

@thedizzies1 he was only anti-punk in the sense of people who thought punk/punk bands must say/wear/play/act /listen to a set of rules.
