The Jam changed my life when I was 18. I'm 54 and the Jam are still so deeply a part of my whole soul. Thank you God for Paul Weller.

[@billybeetroot8595]

Mick Jones 'Going underground, Eaton Ritles' 😂

[@barneyjones3056]

I followed the jam all through my teens going to Cardiff st David's centre and watching them rehearse missing my classes in school then Bristol, port Talbot ,then bath and then Weller took all my love for him and broke my heart leaving the Jam and forgetting who put him where he is now BRUCE & RiC,, Weller you should be ashamed of yourself without them you be nothing 🤨🤨

[@modfather1965]

Friggin' brilliant. Weller deserves every accolade mentioned here. Love that he chose to play a few Jam numbers. Just as an aside--compare how Weller's aged with Mick Jones... WTF?

[@big-baby-buddha]

Oi?!, bellboy, Hew ever compare young Mick Jones to young Paul Weller? They both aged. Mick Jones is just outta hair. Whereas hew adda extra 's' to aside/FOH. (Tho' Weller's brilliant. Agreed)

[@diegoprieto9179]

Weller, Archer & Shields=Wall Of Sound

[@siobhanquinn2648]

[@jonasgi]

[@keffenos]

Eton Ritles??

[@desmondteague2441]

*Mick Jones looms into microphone* err.. Gowan Underground 'nd Eton Ritles...

[@boxingjerapah]

When the people giving the award aren't in the same class as the award winner....

[@dimmykarras9287]

Mick Jones is a great songwriter himself and the Clash were a much more significant band worldwide than the Jam.

[@jonhadley-zx2iu]

@@dimmykarras9287 I think that in the earlier years Weller was impressed by The Clash lyrics of Jones & especially of Strummer

[@chrishyde1216]

These awards are so embarrassing, but worth it to see the modfather.

[@dogenet2929]

Who the hell is Bobbie Gillespie? Which begs the question, how did he get this award before Paul fucking Weller?

[@greg16266]

dogenet... he’s the singer in Primal Scream, and before that Jesus and the Mary Chain...

[@tinsoldier1983]

Is that fucking Kevin shields?!

[@andyallen7437]

coolest after Steve Marriott ....

[@marcus8768]

Jones is wasted

[@neilbillybob3065]

Vocal sounds off drummer is Crap just another Crap version of a Jam song... YOU HEAR THIS THEN REALISE HOW GOOD THE JAM WAS.

[@granto6738]

All the power has gone now , nothing left now

[@big-baby-buddha]

A Jam & Weller fan now & from jump tho' must say imho Weller's vocals was the weak link. Unfortunate tho' undeniable.

[@neilcarrollMeganJamieForever]

He has last his way big time since Steven White left his band. That drummer is fucking awful!

[@ollieoneill5961]

Not you .

[@davidfox7983]

Such a blatant ripoff Don't know how he got away it

[@traylorjbc]

Weller sounds ruff as fuck trying to change it up like he is so grown up now.. Lol .. Just sing it with the passion you had when you was a kid. I still like Weller but he only sound good on a record. Live he is just not a good singer at all.. Great lyrics .. Shit singer.. Yes he made a lot of money not being a good singer.. But so did Ozzy Osbourne
