I like this solo, and I believe relatively recent effort. Not really surprising that Ocean Colour Scene were so influenced by him, given the sound.

The Jam are a legendary top band and rightly so.

Weller is a genius of an artist. Totally reinvented his style with The Style Council

Love this number, always has me hopping about the place

The bit in All Around the World where Weller shouts “YOUTH EXPLOSION” is the defining Jam moment. Once you hear that you’ll have the jist of it.

My first concert was the Jam at Bingley Hall Birmingham in November 1979. I was a very young lad and can’t believe i was let go to it.

The Jams version is better

Down in the tube station at midnight is a banger

‘Hey boy" they shout - “have you got any money?”
And I said - “I’ve a little money and a take away curry,
I’m on my way home to my wife.
She’ll be lining up the cutlery,
You know she’s expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork”
And I’m down in the tube station at midnight’

Eton rifles is brilliant,
Going underground is pure excitement

I love ‘strange town, in the city

A great band

I’m going to throw it out there.

I love the Jam. But the style council are better. Particularly love this. A lot going on:

Must have been the Covid vaccine that killed him.
