Love that song ... (just put it on).
Looking from a hilltop
Watching from a lighthouse, just dreaming
Up here I can see the world
Sometimes it don't look nice
But that's OK
'This Is The Modern World' got slammed by a lot of music critics (what do they know). It was different to 'In The City'...
I saw The Who at the County Ground last year. Was great to see them - previous time was back in the 90s. Daltrey does struggle a lot vocally these days. Also worth pointing out they haven’t - IMO - written anything decent in over 40 years.
Loved The Jam. First saw them in 1977 when I was 15. I still remember that gig. Great times.
But yes, your opinion on Weller is something I can’t agree with. For me it’s been amazing how he’s developed over the years. He’s almost 66 don’t forget. In fact his next album is called 66.

I've heard Weller mix the lyrics up for Malice on more than one occasion, singing ...
To either cut down on gear or the kids new beer - instead of - To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
He gave a sideways look to Craddock on one occasion and they both had a laugh :ROFLMAO:
I can't read music and I've not got a clue about playing guitar or piano - sadly. BUT, I can play the piece on Wasteland on the recorder :ROFLMAO: ... great song.
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.
