The Jam were never accepted by the London punks. The London punks looked down their art school noses at The Jam because The Jam were from Woking a working class industrial town on the edge of London. Kind of how New Yorkers look down on people from New Jersey. Anyway I love The Jam and Paul Weller.

An absolute Classic song! And one of very few songs that went straight to Number 1 in singles chart in UK on its release. Also, unbelievably, “Going Underground” was actually supposed to be the B-Side for another song called “Dreams of Children” but a printing error by record company meant it went into the stores as a double A side single…Even if you look at books recording singles charts today, you will see it listed as “The Jam: Going Underground/Dreams of Children” and not just “Going Underground” Still unbelievable to this day that this was supposed to be the B-Side, as “Dreams of Children” is a very average song… You definitely need to check out their songs like “Town called Malice” “Down in the Tube Station at midnight” and “In the City”
The Jam were the first band I fell in love with as a 12 year old, they were the first band that were mine, not for my parents. Not really punk though, they were classed as New Wave and were more 1960’s influenced, The Who, The Kinks etc. This was at the height of their popularity, no.1 in the singles charts. I love the really early stuff even grittier. You are so right about his accent. I’m English but I know this rough southern accent adds something to this “angry young man” sound, just like the northern Oasis accent works so well in their lazy drawl, it’s the difference between great and masterpiece 🤩 thanks for the reaction, a real trip down memory lane. You could try Suspect Device by Stiff Little Fingers, an Irish band, again the accent adds something incredible ❤🙏
I'm with the 'Jam weren't punk' guys. They considered themselves mod influenced. But it was so much more than one or the other. To hear Weller's voice live for the first time was one of the greatest moments in my life - recordings just do not do it justice. And by the way...'Go Drummer...' Wash your mouth out - Rick Buckler is one of the all time greats. Can we have a bit of respect please.😉
@Doctor Richard Day 1969 The Jam were mods, heavily influenced by the likes of the Who the Kinks Beatles and Motown. Weller says becoming a mod gave him an angle to write from. They get lumped in with the punk bands only because their rise happened around the same time.
The Jam were one of the first bands i really got into. I wouldn't really class them as punk but were a band that were huge in the post-punk era and the transition of punk influences into more mainstream music.
@@seandean8545 and where is the term mod dervided from? From Wiki - "The late 1970s mod revival combined musical and cultural elements of the 1970s pub rock, punk rock and new wave music"

NOT PUNK! 2nd gen Mod revival. Think The Who early on. This was date music for this roadie an before that drinking music when I was in the Army. The date music must have worked as the ex roadie and the photographer have kids 33 and 29. The only difference we have had on The Jam is I like Town Called Malice more than she does.
The Jam were a premier band in the punk genre. Pioneers. Pick any other songs by The Jam and you won’t go wrong. After The Jam Paul Weller formed The Style Council. They’re worth checking out too.
Mmm is this Punk or early Mod, seeing as in the UK Paul Weller is known as the Modfather, the fact that there early songs are all about life in the 80s and a bit political until they split and Weller formed the Style Council who were more pop....ish
Brighton Beach, Mods, Parkers, Scooters, Skinheads, DMs and Rockers with Bikes and leather Jackets. My dad tells stories of May Day Bank Holiday shenanigans 😉
That’s Entertainment; A Town Called Malice: two more hit songs by The Jam. I love Paul Weller. After the Jam with Style Council, and then solo. Still performs. The Jam were so great; thanks for reacting to them.
Ah, but now... you have to see videos of Paul, Rick, and Bruce LIVE. Small concert venues, energy to blow the roof off the building. You won't regret it.
This is NOT Punk, this is urban folk. This is about being a working class Londoner in the seventies. The lyrics explain everything. You need the the lyrics on the screen.
There were different type of "Punk" The jam and others like them. called Mods. The Pistols were typical and Generation X were called Teds. they were more like Rockabilly Punk. Then there were the Skinheads who played Ska and Oi music, before they became racist. Which is where a lot of the So-Cal bands got their influence. That's enough for now,
The Jam were MODS!!! NOT PUNKS more like early Who than any punk band they did come up through punk but here in uk Weller is known as the MODFATHER. POW!
Wolf hunterz , ffs drop the yeehaw, whooping n a hollering , it’s fkn exhausting and distracts from the song and what you REALLY think of the track . Not having a go , just passing on my genuine thoughts 😮 👍🏴
You guys should cover wellers 2nd period band called the style council .... look for the style council “internationalists “ at live aid 1985 which was broadcast to millions worldwide .... the faces he makes are priceless... 100% passion
The Jam were not a punk rock band period nor could you ever say if you had any idea about music that they were a Rock band. They were and still are a Mod band . Thier first album In the city came around at a time when if you used power vhords as a band you were put in the punk camp. People at the time mistakingly thought that they were a punk band however by the time of thier second album and it you resly lisend to the first album with a knolgeabke ear then you would not call them punk. The first album has so much soul undertones and nods to the soul scene ,particularly the northern soul scene at the time which the band visted on numerous occasions, also a massive nod to the who by used of the batman theme that the who used to play to close thier live act . Also the biggest give away I'd the 3 button 60s style Italian suits and smart shoes worn by sll the vand and the obvious mod hair styles carried by weller and Buckler. Ffs that ain't punk you philistines. Do you not know the difference?? Misinformation by funk. If you know nothing about a subject don't comment on it simple as that .
@Kelly Wann I have not called you names I mearly pointed out that you were indifferent to music genre or style and if you know Little or nothing about a particular subject then do not comment upon the subject especially on social media platforms such as this . I am all for free speech as long as it remains within the relmes of truth. Maybe you should take this as an opportunity for growth , look up what philistine means and also look into the revival mod subculture it is very interesting I'm sure you will enjoy . Have a nice day and before you comment do yourself a favour and put a but of resurch beyond Google into it you may actually find that you learn something .
It's kind of wasted...if you don't get the fact they were left wing discarding Thatcher and her ilk....it's not just a tune. It was part of a political movement
The Jam rode the wave of Punk in 1977, but were a Mod band. A fucking good band. Maybe check out British Mod culture, ans your comments won't sound so ridiculous.
If you like,, Punk,,?!.. Try :die toten Hosen - mehr davon, live Rock am Ring, Hals und Beinbruch,, /this Band one of the sucessful Bands of Germany... Since 1981..see what the singer Do in that Video,, 🎸💀
The lyrics are appropriate given the upcoming US election. Republicans/Thatcher (what they were singing about). Some things never change. Lyrics still relevant today, unfortunately.
Great reaction,Jam songs caught the mood of the times late 70s early 80s Saw "From the Jam" ,with 2/3 original members play live in our town recently, and it was great to hear loads of beer bellied middle aged baldies like me singing raucously along to the hits from those days of great sounds Happy days

The Mod Father as he also known over here in the UK
One of my favorite songs of all time! Top 5.
And nobody reacts to it.

Yeah. Basic morons reacting to real music.

Punk were dress totally different style. Mods were dress very well with neck tie.

Really a mod band, rather than a punk band as such.
The Jam was a one-off. More re-Mod than punk. A truly great UK-only band.

Some people might say my life is in a rut
I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more, but
I'm so happy I can't see the point
Something's happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade
And I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money, of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got
I'm going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Me? I'm too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)

The Style Councils' Walls Come Tumbling Down is another power pop fave. Love it!

Mega Hit in the 80ties over her in Europe......Released March 1980...and still Amazing !

In my head, not punk but an extreme version on power pop. YMMV.
My second favorite Paul W. after Westerberg. The Replacements, maybe, sometime?

Great Reaction to one of my Top 10 Bands of all-time! Now, how about a reaction to X-Ray Spex "Oh Bondage! Up Yours!?
You'll love "A-Bomb In Wardour Street" DO IT!
Like this one... This was plagurised for a laugh under the title "London Underground". ;)

Not punk, punks try to latch onto everything and call it punk,
They do it with blondie and the boomtown rats all the time.
Listen to it you oaf.
Great reaction,Jam songs caught the mood of the times late 70s early 80s
Saw "From the Jam" ,with 2/3 original members
play live in our town recently, and it was great to hear
loads of beer bellied middle aged baldies like me
singing raucously along to the hits from
those days of great sounds
Happy days
Not punk but mods
stop calling the Jam punk, they were not punk. The were MODS
Punk….no mate….mod
MODS not punk
best 3 man band of all time that lives up to their name. very pop in my circle in 1979, aloha
Silly people
This is so over your heads, I don't think you realise that you are not the stars. Your inane tired comments give all Americans a bad name.
Didn't even get to the song. Calm down man!

Why do you keep calling it Punk .
Ooh no!! Way too much screaming and over reaction for me???
Err, this is not punk.
