The Jam – Going Underground
Tags
Biography
Woking, England (1972 – 1982)
Going Underground, Start!, Town Called Malice and Beat Surrender). Their singles “That’s Entertainment” and “Just Who Is the Five O’Clock Hero” are the best selling import singles in UK history.
The band drew upon a variety of stylistic influences over the course of their career, including 1960s beat music, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock, as well as 1970s punk and new wave. The trio was known for its melodic pop songs, its distinctly English flavour and its mod image. The band launched the career of Paul Weller, who went on to form The Style Council and later had a successful solo career. Weller wrote and sang most of The Jam’s original compositions, and he played lead guitar, using a Rickenbacker. Bruce Foxton provided backing vocals and prominent basslines, which were the foundation of many of the band’s songs, including the hits “Down in the Tube Station at Midnight”, “The Eton Rifles”, “Going Underground” and “Town Called Malice”.

was the jam ever really a punk band,no not really, english punk was more than about music, there was a political statement there,rebeling against thatcher and what she stood for, you need to be english to understand that, was one of those things that you had to live it through it to understand that ,hence it was short lived but changed rock music forever . but the jam were great and never really replicated, think the attitude that they had was how they got rolled into punk idea

It still bums me out that out of all the punk bands from the mid to late 70's,The Jam seems to get little to no recognition in the U.S.
