Best album by The Jam

[lawros left foot]

To be clear, their final gig EVER!

I was lucky enough to be there.

And me,

 

[Bob!]

No irony.
Have bought most of his solo albums.
Have been disappointed many times.

If, and I know he has said never, but if Weller reformed the original line -up, would you go and see them?
Personally, I'm torn. I'm not in my late teens/early Twenties anymore, so, it could never be as exciting and plain brilliant as it was then, and would Weller etc have the same anger, and energy and enthusiasm for it. Would it be like when the Pistols reformed for the Filthy Lucre gigs, or whe n Blur teamed up again?

Gave up after In the City and This is the modern world. Although a couple of years ago I bought Snap, still haven't got past the 2nd track 3rd side!! (yes its vinyl )

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Was there in '82, and will indeed be at the same location tomorrow evening. Legend.

Just has the edge for me!

 

[Monkey Man]

Voted for Sound Affects as it's probably the one I listen to most these days and has endured the best for me. There are high and low points on all the albums ... maybe I just overplayed them when I was a teenager, but I find them quite hard to listen to these days.

Small side point: I have a nagging feeling that the Brighton gig wasn't actually the last and that there was a much smaller gig, possibly in Woking for friends etc, shortly afterwards, though Brighton was the "official" final concert. Or have I invented that?

Monkey man..no you haven't invented that.

Me too!

All mod cons.
In my opinion, some of his solo stuff is right up there as well.
Weller isn't very nostalgic, he's always looking forward, so a Jam reunion isn't an option.
Looking forward to see him tomorrow night behind enermy lines

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Setting Sons. Narrowly ahead of All Mod Cons.

I saw The Jam five times. They were great.

I'm going tomorrow too, not quite sure to expect, as I've not really been impressed by his last two albums....

 

[The Modfather]

Not much between All Mod Cons, Setting Sons & Sound Affects, but Setting Sons was the 1st album that I bought and edges it for me.

Be sure to give me a wave
