Good shout Deacon, probably my favourite album of all time. Honourable mentions for Setting Sons, Our favourite shop, Wildwood and Stanley Road.

There's a review of the new album on the NME site along with a vid of the new single, sounds pretty good.

Hope the link works, otherwise it'll have to be a cut and paste job.

Carefree.

Yeah, Weller is still cool. I saw the Jam countless times but hated the camp TSC with a passion. Most of his solo stuff sounds good but is forgettable. Unless it's my age. If I hear the first few bars of any Jam song, I know the song, the words, which album. If a solo song comes on, I may figure out it's him.

Mod Cons and Down in the Tubestation... fave album and song. Followed closely by Sound Affects and Entertainment

Seeing him in May in London - looking forward to it

You'll have to let us know how it went Bonetti?

If it's tomorrow night, you'll have to shout out Happy Birthday. The grumpy old mod is 52 tomorrow!!!

I am really liking the Leo Zero mix of new single No Tears To Cry.

The Jam were, and still are my favourite band ever, i was fortunate to see them on there farewell tour at bingley hall, still one of the best nights ever, i was only 15

i have spoken to bruce foxton quite a few times on an internet chat room, when he played for SLF

theres quite a few on here say All Mod Cons is the best jam album, for me its the 2nd best, Setting Sons imo without a doubt is there best album

i also like the weller solo stuff, from the floorboards up blew me away, awesome track

i used to love the Jam but don't listen to them much nowadays. i was never too impressed by Weller's solo stuff. it's undeniably good music but doesn't quite grab me.

it's a matter of taste, but i actually prefer the Style Council, dismissed earlier in this thread as "camp" which i can only think refers to some of the clothes worn by Weller and Mick Talbot rather than the actual music:


if you're into this stuff, Tracie's solo album, recently released on CD is also well worth checking out.
