The Jam- Pretty Green REACTION & REVIEW

[@oberpa5047]

Thank you for listening to The Jam, almost every song they made has a great melody while staying unique. They played live so much that they have a great sound that is very well matched with each-other.

[@albertwallace5060]

I get quite excited when I see a JustJP Jam reaction 😊⭐️

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Weller is right. "SOUND AFFECTS" is their best album... and that's saying a LOT when you have "ALL MOD CONS" and "SETTING SONS" in your catalog. THE JAM were absolutely peak in that three album run that was as good as anything any band has ever produced. SIDE NOTE: I'm going to ask / beg again for you to check out the incredible MARTIN PHILLIPPS of THE CHILLS. He recently passed away in New Zealand and his catalog is so worth exploring and celebrating. THE CHILLS were legendary. Check out "THE ONCOMING DAY," "PINK FROST," "I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET" (Tribute to his friend who passed away from Leukemia), "NIGHT OF THE CHILL BLUE," "THE GREAT ESCAPE," or the epic "WATER WOLVES" (with beautiful, haunting orchestration arranged by Brian Wilson collaborator, Van Dyke Parks. Truly worth your time. Cheers!

Great start to arguably the best of a run of three consecutive classic albums, starting with All Mod Cons. This album cemented The Jam’s position as the biggest band in the UK after they had scored their first number 1 single earlier in the year, the iconic, standalone ‘Going Underground’ (well worth a listen in its own right, along with its double A side ‘Dreams of Children’).

I've always found "Pretty Green" and other Sound Affects tracks to have a much more pronounced post-punk/new wave feel than they used to. Yes, it's a very good album, but personally my favourite is their previous album, Setting Sons.

[@Alix777.]

Same

[@thirdcoast5755]

Setting Sons is my fave but All Mod Cons, Setting Sons and Sound Affects is their trifecta. You can’t miss with any of them.

[@manhattenman6075]

To me their best album. Sound Affects is great, Pretty Green, Monday, Set This House Ablaze, Start, That’s Entertainment, Scrape Away. Enjoyable listen.

[@Nebuchadnezzar-Wildebeest]

The Modfather is, indeed, correct (he usually is), it's their best LP.

[@paulpurcell6218]

Great song from my favourite Jam album ❤️

[@aesotope1592]

I'm just about old enough to remember when £1 was a green banknote and not a coin, as it is now.

[@StephenWoodhouse-t9t]

I've seen him from jam and still go and see him class

[@kevinmottram9491]

'Sound Affects'? Could be the strap line to your channel JP.

[@davidsterckx7358]

Running on the spot from The gift is immense. The Jam are simply the best band in the world. For the record , a geezer dropped a tenner in a weatherspoons, they need that money, I picked it up and handed it to him. I don't want kudos for that.

[@pookiemartinez1745]

Sound Affects and Modern World are faves. have the box sets of audio and DVD..

[@nealjones255]

Brilliant band Never made a bad album

[@murdockreviews]

Great opening track.

[@MrKrayer]

This album is worth a track by track reaction! Pretty Green to Scrape Away, all bangers. I agree with Weller on this one.

[@kevtruth]

The day I was booted out of my apartment in 2011, I wandered to the beach and sat on a bench. On the bench was a wallet with $110 in it. I dropped the wallet off at the police station. Yes I kept the $

[@benweeks626]

Sound Affects is one of their best and Pretty Green is an amazing opening track! Always been on of my faviurites

[@acrookedbeat9013]

the youth of today wouldn't have a clue what a pocket full of pretty green is !

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

It's one of those strange things in life. You can spent $50 without thinking about it, but if you find $1 lying around, it makes you happy. Don't know whether you've reacted to my favourite Jam song yet, but if not, it's on that album - "That's Entertainment". A brilliant, timeless track.

[@unkindestcut]

This album represents Weller, Foxton, and Buckler at their collective artistic peak and definitely deserves a full listen.

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

Even though 'All Mod Cons' & 'Setting Sons' are better albums.

[@Radge-cc5uw]

It probably is their best album (although I do love All Mod Cons, for nostalgic reasons). I hope you enjoy listening to it. Scrape Away and Set the House Ablaze are fantastic songs and of course there’s That’s Entertainment.

[@HippoYnYGlaw]

stranglers-esque clash-esque kinks-esque "Rand, I'm Bored. Why don't you Be the Boss for a wh aisle?" My long lost soul mate's fave Jam song? U had to be there.

[@RexGroovi47]

THE JUDYBATS - drop the baby

[@michaelfrank2266]

I use the word 'opined' likely more than the average person. Is in my regular vocabulary. An acceptable sounding tune btw.

[@Roddy1965]

This was the first Jam album I had, and it is definitely the #1 or #2. I haven't used 'opined' but the English language continues to devolve. I'm like, and he's like, and she's like, like, ya know? But Weller is class and knows the language.

[@shemanic1]

Opined, I use quite a lot as I do crossword puzzles & it occurs a lot. It means giving your opinion.

[@andkat]

Top ranked Jam record for me, but my favorite is The Gift

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

Welcome to that club with a membership of one.

[@kevind4850]

Probably have used "opined" though cannot recall the last instance. Your question does make me wonder whether anyone uses that word in the present tense. I "opine" that it might be a dubious premise to claim that people do.

[@Edward1312]

Opined, "stating one's opinion" is used more widely in British English than American, I suspect.

[@johncarr2806]

Bruce Foxton has just announced that he is stepping down from future "From The Jam" projects, with immediate effect, due to ongoing health issues.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

I guess it's ok as a tune, but I never liked these guys much. 🙃

[@paulcollins5586]

same here.
