The Jam (and later The Style Council ) were two of the best music groups of that era. Greatly talented, meaningful lyrics and wonderful melodies. Paul is probably the most underrated songwriter of this generation. Pure class. 👌🏽
An incredible 3 piece everyone could see and hear Paul’s genius but Bruce’s bass work lays such a groove and ricks drumming keeps everything moving sweet just a fantastic band too young to have seen them live wished I could
Struggle after struggle, year after year The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called Malice, ooh yeah A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Gets dashed against the Co-op To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings Lost laughter in the breeze Could go on for hours and I probably will But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh In this town called Malice, yeah In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
I used to have to, I just can’t anymore, GIFT is by no small margin the greatest The Jam album. People want to draw you in for a 3 hour debate. I won’t WILL NOT do it anymore.
Weller is a genius.....foxtons bass in on the same level as John deacon.....and Hucknel was a driving force on the drums.....DEFINITELY one of England’s best!!!
I wonder who the keyboard player and the man playing the tamborine, I bet they had interesting lives to help The Jam out when they needed some extra backing.
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge Wow, you really know your stuff! Thank you. I couldn't find much on Steve but more on Keith - that he used to play in bands on the Old Kent Road.

In the last 60 years there were about 3 "great" eras..From about 1962,Beatles,Stones,and what was like a briliant new band almost every month making classic music,to about 1975.Then about 1977 to about 1985 we had Punk,New Romantic...Then it was all one hit wonders etc.Then in the mid-90s came the "Brit Pop" Era,Oasis,Blur etc....Then after about the year 2000-it sank into American R&B,HipHop,and vile "rap"...For over 20 years there has been nothing in the way of new trends.Its all just throwaway,download,listen,delete.Nothing released much since 2000 will ever be called "Classic"...?
I love the jam… they educated me when thatcher wanted us dumb… i love all sorts of music and variety but if I had to remove every song, ever written, leaving only 10 I’d end up with 10 Jam songs… down i the tube station is possibly the best song ever written and the haunting last lines of they took the keys and she’ll think it’s me and the implications to that is possibly the most harrowing ending to any song ever This along with that’s entertainment are just gods work…(I can now think of at least 20 songs as good the rote😂

That bass, Weller’s voice, and that single roll snare had me the first time I heard it!
Remember when it came out Rockin track ✌️💯
🎉
One of the best tunes of all times. Genius
Everything is brilliant about this song and the band!!!
the Jam, Haircut 100 , Madness are the pioneers of early british new wave fukin brilliant
you ALWAYS have to dance to this.. it's the law 😀
Richard Coles make a sandwich to this
What's YOUR name ... Billy Elliot...?
That bass....unbeatable
The Jam (and later The Style Council ) were two of the best music groups of that era. Greatly talented, meaningful lyrics and wonderful melodies. Paul is probably the most underrated songwriter of this generation. Pure class. 👌🏽
One of the best song ever writen.
Paul and his BEAUTIFUL hair😻😻😻
An incredible 3 piece everyone could see and hear Paul’s genius but Bruce’s bass work lays such a groove and ricks drumming keeps everything moving sweet just a fantastic band too young to have seen them live wished I could
Brilliant song, which will never die
This is my happy song. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
That Ric 360F is funking gorgeous..!!😍😍😍
He gave it away eventually
Clearly a man of taste - much like our hero.
Love this. 1960s music sped way up. The jam was great
The same time this song came out,in Australia there was a mini series called “A town like Alice”. I used to get them both confused!!🤣
That's the novel this song took its name from
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge I know right😁but I was just a little kid that mixed them up. Great miniseries but with Bryan Brown. TV days✌️
Another brilliant song from THE JAM I like this one 🤩😊😎🤗
Love this song ,super cool band , best drummer in the world by far
Stewart Copeland est excellent aussi, et, à mon avis, supérieur.
Je trouve que son style ressemble à celui de Jet Black des stranglers.
My favorite is Clem Burke but Buckler is great!
I first heard this song on an episode of The walking dead where Dwight was making that yummy sandwich. Fell in love with the song.
That rickenbacker guitar is huge !!!!
Timeless ❤
A rare clip. Thanks for posting
This is very deep song amazingly true listening to the lyrics genius
かっこいい❤
Best song ever,
This is class
Coolest man on the Earth.
Great song, love the organ! (Orgeltsie)
Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called Malice, ooh yeah
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings
Lost laughter in the breeze
Could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh
In this town called Malice, yeah
In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
MODS.... Forever ✌️
Rick must have been born holding drumsticks such a natural terrific drummer
Je pense que Stewart Copeland était d'un niveau supérieur.
I know it's mimed, but it's still glorious! Xxx it is still The Jam...xxx
Lovely.
LOVE IT!!! 💜
What a sound,
I can't wait for the new movie
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't hurry love
All these years and I never noticed the similarity til you mentioned it. 😄
Never denied.
More "I'm ready for love" by Martha and the Vandellas
@@simonespitoni3959 You are right. I just listened to it and it sounds more like it
Class 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Still the GOAT
I used to have to, I just can’t anymore, GIFT is by no small margin the greatest The Jam album. People want to draw you in for a 3 hour debate. I won’t WILL NOT do it anymore.
Rock on always good to listen to 😎
Straight into no 1
FAB !!!!!!!!!!!!!
My year 1982-
Crazy that this song isn't in the soundtrack to the TV series a Town Called Malice🤔
yeah for real right?😂 can't believe it
멋지다
Geetar!!
14歳の日本人がこの曲の良さを理解していたって自慢していいでしょ？
lol. great song.
Weller is a genius.....foxtons bass in on the same level as John deacon.....and Hucknel was a driving force on the drums.....DEFINITELY one of England’s best!!!
Haha....didn’t catch it Buckner

The greatest band in the fuckin world
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry🩷💙🧡❤️
👍👍👍
Bass baby
❤
30k veiws come on please this tune is sick
1982
first time ive seen this
Me too fucking brilliant!
Pop punk, quintessentially British. Holds up well. Er
Paul doing Steve Marriott style.
It is impossible to listen to this without moving your body😂
feels mo-town vibe in it
Listen to Martha reeves and the vandellas “ready for love” and you’ll hear where the riff came from.
@@ianreynolds9733 To me it sounds more like Lust For Life
Parkway bar 2023, guid music, wow soup n bread n a glass off wine n a haha Karen,clean n tidy, plus darts n snnookers
Thanks for this post; The sound quality is stereo and much better than on the Vevo channel.
I wonder who the keyboard player and the man playing the tamborine, I bet they had interesting lives to help The Jam out when they needed some extra backing.
Keith Thomas (seated) Steve Nicol (Keyboards)

Je crois que Paul Weller a mis fin à l' histoire juste après.
Rickenbacker 360F
Thomas Patrick Parker is
This tune only just Barnsley on the map and not Billy Elliott
Great song. I wish they weren't lip synching.
why play the organ sound with a synthesizer
it's not a synth, it's a rare Kustom combo organ, I believe....
I love the jam… they educated me when thatcher wanted us dumb… i love all sorts of music and variety but if I had to remove every song, ever written, leaving only 10 I’d end up with 10 Jam songs… down i the tube station is possibly the best song ever written and the haunting last lines of they took the keys and she’ll think it’s me and the implications to that is possibly the most harrowing ending to any song ever
This along with that’s entertainment are just gods work…(I can now think of at least 20 songs as good the rote😂
He’s a Woking lad. On a completely unrelated note, guess which town filed for bankruptcy this week?
Real bands refuse to mime their songs...
I don't think they had an option. If the tv show's policy is to mime- what can you do. I suppose you would call it an evil necessity! 🙂
You don't always get the choice
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge - of course they have a choice, on whether or not to compromise their integrity.
This song makes me want a sandwich
Foxton thinks he's a right hard man.
Why?
Super
