[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Just Who is the Five O'clock Hero?

Love the B side, The Great Depression.

I'll vote for Butterfly Collector,no!.....Tales Of The Riverbank, No!....Monday....No erm Little Boy Soldiers.


Bollocks to this its too hard

You wanna song? I'll go for the title track from his solo album "Illumination" that's the one I could listen to all day.


I'm not a lot of help am I?

 

[Buzzer]

Start.

 

[BBassic]

It'd have to be 'Going Underground'

It's the quintessential Jam track.

 

[studio150]

Burning Sky

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Man in the Corner Shop. Wonderful piece of music. Will always be my favourite Jam song.

 

[El Presidente]

Carnation

 

[Peter Grummit]

Depends on the context:

To get people jumping: Town Called Malice

Best single (for a general crowd): Down in the Tubestation at Midnight

Best track (for the aficionados): In the Crowd:

And everyone seems just like me,
They struggle hard to set themselves free
And they're waiting for the change

[SeeGoals]

Love The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow)

 

[PFJ]

Don't think anyone has picked this yet and it is the Jam song I always go back to ,
News of the World ....

 

[Simgull]

All Mod Cons, a great opener to a great album. I could pick any track from AMC.

 

[smudge]

Has to be That's Entertainment for me. Just brings back memories of a certain time. In particular an away trip to Norwich that was a bit lively!

 

[The Large One]

As I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing themselves laughing...

 

[brakespear]

My choice, love the drums on it:

 

[brakespear]

As I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing themselves laughing...

I actually scanned the lyrics but it didn't register which song they were from til after I'd posted my choice

 

[Brighton TID]

Tales From The Riverbank.

Love this track, although I think the 'Alternate' version on the box set is superior to the B side of Absolute Beginners.

My personal fave is Dream Time, only because I have played all of the well known stuff to death.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

'Shopping' is a great Jam song too.

 

[Blazing Apostle]

Got to be Eton Rifles

 

[Fulking Seagull]

An awesome collection and too many to choose from but I'm with Hans Kraay Fan Club.......English Rose.
