 Punk rocks owners October 29, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Whatever people tell me about the ramones: i always say that these guys defined punk music. Still today The Jam is a classic band that will always have a place in my album collection. This CD however is overdoing everything. Punk rock albums are usually very short and having to listen to 20 songs that do all sound extremely simmilar can get tedious. More than this I believe that punk bands very designed for live performances: they had a great attitude to live acts which made them amazing to listen to. The CD takes the heart out of this genre and for that i mark it down. Also there are a few songs could have done without.

This album is the soundtrack of my youth - and it still sounds great twenty years on.
Weller was better than DYLAN - wrote better songs than LENNON and wore sharper suits than STING.
Classic anthems that will never die...

A great collection from the best band of all time.
Weller amd the boys looked the part and always talked the walk.
I want them to reform - but till that day this collection will keep me happy why I wait.

Get SNAP SE instead August 10, 2006

There's no doubt this is an excellent collection of singles but why buy this when you could buy the SNAP special edition double CD 1 cheaper. That has every song on this "best of" CD plus another 8 including "Away from the numbers" and "English Rose".

This is basically a singles album; not that the Jam didn't produce some excellent albums but if you're a casual or new fan this is probably the one to go for. Most of these songs are great, full of energy and sound as good as they did when the band was kicking, between 1977 and 1982. Personal favourites are When You're Young, Precious, Eton Rifles, A Bomb In Wardour Street and the underated News Of The World, a rare Foxton outing. Paul, mate, you never bettered what you did in this band, then again, few did.
