This week - The Jam

The Jam were an English rock band formed in 1972 by Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler. They were phenomenally successful, achieving 18 UK top 40 singles between 1977 and 1982, including four number one hits. They released one live album and six studio albums, the last of which, "The Gift" was a UK number one album. If they seem more contemporary than the dates suggest, it's because their first 15 singles were re-released in 1982 and all reached the top 100. This powerful , strident, highly political album is all killer; no filler!
