Sh!t. A Tough one that will require much thought by myself.... :p

Mon The Jam! :)

Probably in my youth there would have been no hesitation as I clicked The Jam. Now older, and moving back to the early 70's (might even tie a scarf round my wrist at the next game) I might go with those I would have been bored by. I'll weigh up the arguments and vote later, thanks.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

I'd like to see some evidence put on here before I vote... so come on lads, make your case!

Not really, Pink Floyd are rock, ergo they must be gay......................

It's the Jam all the way

Ah! But wasn't there a rumour about Paul Weller and his Style Council mate?

:hilarious:

And here was me thinking that you said metal that was gay... ;)
I believe that the Jam also play a form of rock, you know...

 

[Wessex]

Love Sid Barrett though

After he left Pink Floyd he became a musical comedy genius, sadly his brain was too fried by acid to recognise it.

His solo material must the funniest music you can listen to whilst puffing on a big fat doobie

Translated as when it suits me!
Did you and that referee who took 4 minutes off our game at Grimsby train together?

Punk / power pop not rock.

Yes and a valid point by CCCsiders about Mr Weller and Mick Talbot from the Style Council, still that was an aberration that occurred after the Jam's golden years

 

[MK Shrimper]

This is quite simple a vote for the exuberance of youth over the hulking dinosaurs of pomposity.

The Jam embodies what pop music should be about: Vibrance, energy, nerve tingling, ear shredding perfection, all wrapped up in truly outstanding lyrics from one of the greatest song writers this country has ever produced. 18 top 40 singles and NOT ONE of them a duffer.

From the early punk roots of In The City and The Modern World to the glorious, inspirational brilliance of Going Underground and The Eton Rifles, to call it a day on Beat Surrender is just what popular music should all be about.

I have to be fair: I like Pink Floyd as well, bit they're music for art students sitting around a big spliff and talking about how big space is and how we could all, like, be underneath a giants fingernail..... besides,
A Final Cut and A Momentary Lapse of Reason were awful, Genesis lite....

Its quite simply:

Remember people, this is about one band: The Jam.... not the Style Council, not Paul Weller solo, not the Mojo Sodding Filters.

The Jam is a vote for eternal youth!

I never realised Cricko was from the ghetto, innit.

Sorry, but Punk is a form of rock....
And I would never call the Jam power pop! :p

Pretentious, upper middle class ,pseudo artistic, mega-band playing music too dire for the lifts in a supermarket vs the Raw, youth focussed ,Trio from Woking

or

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it


vs

I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses
Couldnt see, hear, speak any longer
And Im down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight


Is there really any need for a poll
