I'm reading these comments and yearning to have been a teenager in the late 70s but this song was released 31 years before I was even born :'(

[@NicholasArmatige]

I was lucky enough to be at the high school when The jam was just making it, and even luckier to meet them getting on a coach after they'd played at Bridlington spa, I don't think they could really understand my broad Yorkshire accent but I think they and I got the jist of it all.

Paul Weller is most definitely one of the preemptive songwriting legends of his and any generation.

sounds as fresh today as it did back then. The Jam were unparalleled. Exactly how you want your teenage heroes to be.

[@sonjoestar3613]

@@rorogogo6241 no 77 is the year in which the album 'In The City' was released, punk scene started out in 76 with 'Ramones' self titled debut album. I hear the influence of Ramones in The Jam's sound however they give it their own twist with meaningful and system criticizing lyrics. Love 'The Jam' 'The Clash' 'Ramones' All great bands that did the musical revolution.

I don’t care if people insists in calling this “new wave”. For me The Jam will always be a punk band.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

@@carl_anderson9315 - They were a Mod band. They dressed like Mods, had more haircuts and even did Kinks covers. I don't know how old you are but there was a Mod revival at the same time as Punk in the UK. There was also Ska going on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYWlnWCOppeUq7s

[@QQRREE]

This is why The Jam were in a league of their own . So pleased i witnessed them live on many occasions . Still my favourite song . The aggrestion and power in the vocals is so refreshing . The legacy still intact . Shame they are not all friends , would have been great to see them chat and laugh about their glory times . Not to reform thou . Think it would be just great to see them together .

For the English people who read this: there are bands from your country (like this one), that are so, so good, that I don't understand why they weren't ultra successful in America. Other great examples: The Cult, Bauhaus, Adam and the Ants, Joy Division, T. Rex, King Crimson...

[@nikmark01]

This song change my life.. made me who I am to a large degree.. justified the way I felt, empowered my anger. At the time the radio would hardly play this stuff.. you'd catch it maybe once or twice a week.. when you did hear it it was a fkn adrenalin rush.. like a call to action. With this song in my head I could take on the whole fckn world and come out smiling. Thank You Mr Paul Weller, Mr Bruce Foxton and Mr Rick Buckler.. your contribution cannot be quantified.!!

[@sonjoestar3613]

i don't like that word 'mod' but i think he's a good punk. he has a style and level, i think mod means a decent punk. at least he doesn't steal riffs like s3x 'talentless' pistols or write utterly meaningless lyrics like ramones beside straight forward song making.. they all are still alive yet jam disbanded way earlier than this date. whatever paul weller rocks

[@thewhoman3182]

@@sonjoestar3613 I like how you censored the word sex, very class. Also the S3x pistols as you like to call them were not talentless and had one of the best frontmen in all of rock history and one of the 100 best guitarists of all time according to rolling stone. They only recorded one official album that is still praised as one of the best albums of all time and have had an iconic legacy for decades now and they hold a well deserved place in the rock and roll hall of fame as do the Ramones. And the Jam did?

[@foto21]

Well shot video. Of course, with this band, just get out of the way, and let them shine. This song could be uninteresting in another band's hands, but the energy, tightness, and Weller's huge voice, and smart lyrics make it go the distance to great. What a rhythm section. Explosive. That Rickenbacker is really something else. This is the Byrds mixed with the Ramones. The engineer NAILED the drum, snare and bass sound. SO well produced, a good sight better than many other punk rock recordings. Must've been someone REAL good at Polydor who actually got how good this band could be.

[@Requiescence01]

Timeless classic. Saw them in Carlisle and Sheffield. Both great concerts.

This is another band I’d love to reform just a Album & British Tour . Tickets would go in minutes .

[@lewis7515]

Old men who try to simply replay the glory of their youth really do risk spoiling both the past, and the present... I think Weller in particular is much too clever to ever consider such an anathema - a bunch of elders shouting about A Town Called Malice and Down In a Tube Station?....In the lifetime, since, Weller has given not one indication of being the type of man who's interested in anything that even resembles that, so I don't think so.

Because it's now 40 year old music. There are bands like this,but they're playing 40 year old music,not brand new never heard before sounds. Rock has basically closed its circle,like jazz did before it. No big deal, but stop pretending music will ever 'mean' anything again.
