[Brighton Lines]

Puts it all into perspective.

No it wasn't, apart from a couple of good toons they were shit, soz just my opinion.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Greatest band ever, and the best singer / songwriter this country has produced.

That last concert was something special

The Jam were fine - got most of their LPs (yes, and still got the vinyl) - it's what they've done since that's the shit - allso in my opinion. Soz ............

The bitterest pill, going underground

I'm an arty farty fart unfortunately. Roxy Music best band of all time.

The news hit me really hard at the time. They were "my" band, the one I identified with completely as a 13-year-old. Was too young to get into the Brighton Centre for the farewell gig although mods from my school said they were going anyway, to hang around by the stage door and hear whatever they could.

Looking back it was probably the right decision by Weller. There was no need for a seventh album.

I guess you must be referring to their cover of 'David Watts'.

The amount of times I've drifted off to sleep reciting 'Fa fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa' wondering what the inspiration for such eloquence was.

From The Jam are at the Btn Centre 03 December, although £37 is a bit steep imho, even though they've randomly thrown in Big Country too, and possibly Buzzcocks.

Most would have settled for 'la, la, la, la' or 'da, da, da, da', but Ray is a genius.

I mean everyone is entitled to an opinion, but some people really shouldn't

Loved the Jam and the Style Council but Weller’s solo stuff, imho, has been consistently underwhelming

And he's released about 400 albums of that turgid shite. (advance apologies to the middle of the roaders on here who lap it up)

‘You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust’.

As relevant today as they were 40+ years ago!

Top, top band

 

[The Clamp]

They were pretty good. I still tap a toe or two when Going Underground comes on the radio.
