In The Crowd - The Jam

[@Archi-Bald]

I am a guy in my 50’s and as I age my musical tastes have become more diverse, but nobody will ever touch me like the jam . Weller wrote these songs specifically for me I’m sure of it

[@chrismorrison3696]

I am so there mate. Merry Christmas brother.

[@ohcrikey9560]

Yep. When you're young you shut your mind off from everything except a specific genre. With me it was punk/new wave.

[@jane2594]

Woman in my early 50s. Same.

[@iainmair485]

No, he wrote them for me.

[@eddiehaley1833]

😂😂 this the over 50s section then, Happy days tho 🤔👍👍

[@mickmcgowan7756]

They were and still are the greatest band ever to me total legends

[@regfox2000]

Agreed..bloody excellent🤪👍

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Agreed

[@rumpraisin]

They're among the best.

[@iandainton2416]

Tattooed on my arm 1979! The jam, the wife's too, thirty years later divorced, wife tattoo scrubbed, the jam stays as long as I breath!!!!

[@charlieisclass4128]

Same I’m 16 and have being listening to the jam with my old man since I was born

[@iandavis5739]

I'm not religious, but god bless the day when I turned on the radio back in '79 and absolute classics like this were broadcast as talent..........A little bit dangerous......but talent and originality prevailed.. Bollocks to being young now. Poor bastards haven't got a chance !

[@woodpeckerpasleyparkmassiv6621]

Ian Davis was born in 79 what a kick ass year🃏😁

[@chrismorrison3696]

I am such a better man because of this band. I know you are out there to lads. Big love from the Wasteland. The Jam were, are, simply the greatest pop band of all time. More please.

[@granto6738]

Yes they was my life best wishes from Durham England 🇬🇧

[@jayeevee1693]

Newcastle city hall 79 and 80. Bunked off school to see them do a signing at Listen Ear records in 79. Patted Paul W on the back in the shop and he turned round and said "alright mate". The 14 year old me was chuffed...

[@chrismorrison2805]

I Love Everyone Here Now. I am not alone. God bless you, your family, compassion, God, and THE JAM. The fact that you are here means we're related.

[@iandainton2416]

I'm religious, I religiously listen to all mod cons, best fucking band in in the world,

[@jacquelineholmes4633]

The Jam were pretty much my religion as a schoolkid but shaped me as a person, not just ModForLife - everyone here - WE ARE FAMILY

[@colingeddes2172]

@@jacquelineholmes4633 i know exactly what u mean jacqui. Loving the jam as a 13 year old at school, was like a tribal thing. Like u say, they were like family and so much more....

[@Midlifer69]

All Mod Cons along with Quadrophenia were most probably the first two albums I ever heard back around the age of 14 . Still as relevant to me today as they were then

[@richardelson3261]

[@ohcrikey9560]

Saw them at the Concorde in Brighton couple years back. Friggin awsome.

[@Roberkert]

When I'm in the crowd, I don't see anything My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine When I'm in the crowd I don't see anything I fall into a trance, at the supermarket The noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans Of baked beans on toast, technology is the most And everyone seems just like me, They struggle hard to set themselves free And their waiting for the change When I'm in the crowd, I can't remember my name And my only link is a pint of walls ice cream When I'm in the crowd - I don't see anything Sometimes I think that its a plot An equilibrium melting pot The government sponsors underhand When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd And everyone seems that they're acting a dream Cause they're just not thinking about each other And they're taking orders, which are media spawned And they should know better, now you have been warned And don't forget you saw it here first When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd And life just simply moves along In simple houses, simple jobs And no ones wanting for the change When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd When I'm in the crowd

[@pauleyles9536]

@@skoot2u Yes the Human League. My all time heroes. Who I've been lucky enough 2 have met. And Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ s. My favourite Human League member since I 1st saw her on the TV show Top of the Pop's in 1981. I've got a signed photo of her. And Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ s partly responsible 4 the best night of my life ever. And it cost Southern railway company . Over the sum of money ie £100. 4a taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question. When I was having a great time in chatting with my favourite Human League member ie Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ and missed the last train home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question. And all because I had 4gottern 2 have my meds with me. And missed the last train home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4. And that is a true story. Even though the unexpected 3 taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question wasn't planned. And the only downside is that Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ wasn't in the taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question with me. Still hopefully I will be lucky enough 2 have a chance 2 meet up with the 2 Human League girls ie Queens Joanne Catherall ❤️ and Susan Sulley ❤️ and King Phil Oakey again soon.

[@TheDon101277]

The Jam - To be Someone is obviously an amazing song just me typing this feels wrong being the opposite to everything i know. Any true Jam can would have to agree with me tho. Normally people prefer the song they hear 1st over other versions and this is usually the original but Oasis Chicago 1998 cover of the Jams-To be Someone is the exception being a perfect example of how to take someone else 's song and change it up with ur own stamp of identity. Oasis without Liam and Noel singing turns the Jams up beat song into a heart string puller, I didn't even realise at 1st it was the same song unbelievably

There were a lot of supermarket references in punk. I suppose it was the most obvious metaphor for mindless consumerism. It also just sounds good as a word.
