The Jam were an English punk rock/mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
They had eighteen consecutive Top 40 singles in the United Kingdom, from their debut in 1977 to their breakup in 1982, including four number one hits.

it is a quality base line. and a quality song.
-
the fact that the bass line is (on purpose) identical to Taxman does not diminish the greatness of this song!
-
Every musician takes from others that's how music evolves. Even the Beatles took from others that influenced them. So stop bitching and enjoy music for what it is!
-
@BRees94 i believe this is a rip off the beatles taxman however.
-
this IS taxman.
-
@cwelch333 You don't understand music. Likewise to the people going on about Oasis, who cares that they arrived after, they fucking suck anyway.
-
The Jam ADMITTED that they nicked the bass line. I think this is a great song.
-
@cwelch333 I think the bass line is purposely obvious. The album has a lot of Revolver references. But yeah, it's the note for note bass line.
-
@matinism well i know who the gallaghers are, who the folk are you..?
-
Many people talk about how the guitar and bass line are just like Taxman but to me that's the beauty of The Jam. They combined the best of The Beatles, The Who and The Kinks and created their own unique version of each.

@jamescropley
how can the jam be a rip off band of oasis if the jam were before oasis' time?
there's only one thing that matters in the jam to me , Sir John Paul Weller - The Modfather
