I grew up listening to the Jam and loved them back in the early 1980s and their three best albums were All Mod Cons, Setting Sons and Sound Affects and most of their tracks had some real attitude and always interesting lyrics, but then around the mid 1980s I completely went off them and have never liked them since. I think the problem is, that I find Paul Wellers vocals a huge turn-off and I find a lot of their lyrics focusing on political and social commentary in the UK at that time very dated now. They were a band of their era and that`s about it really. I think Roxy Music were far better and timeless than the Jam could ever be
