40 years old and sounds as good now as then. Just incredible....
55, as it is Beatle's Taxman of 1966
@@cas3003 I think it has a better downbeat than Taxman. I see your point though.
@@jasonb.3902 Better downbeat? This is the same fucking song as Taxman, but not as melodic or inventive.
The band The Music Machine did a cover of Taxman that sounds quite similar to this
Shag song
Rick Buckler is one of the most underrated drummers Britain ever produced.
For sure. Steady beat at all times.
He came out broke
@@kieranholohan7048 I know, it's terrible.
His do disappeared like overnight. Irrelevant.
He's not underrated , I rate him, that's all that matters!!
This could have come out in 1970, 1980 or 1990 and it would still sound just as fresh and brilliant
Except it's ripped off from Taxman by The Beatles.
@@Euadam by "ripped off" you mean "improvised". Music always takes stuff from others and change it into something different (see hip hop's sampling).
This was always a floor filler (with the lads) at my local Friday night Youth Club back in the early 80s! What a tune!
the modfarther in his prime, what a amazing time to grow up in,,thanks 4 sharing xxxxx
The Jam were a super tight well oiled machine. What a perfect band!
43 years ago today, this song hit #1. Congratulations and happy anniversary.
Seems like yesterday.
Don't get great music like this anymore, it's sad.
Weller is the Midas of music.
Paul Weller’s The Jam guitar solos are insanely underrated. They sound like George Harrison in a bad mood going “here’s your f*cking guitar solo Paul”, fucking brilliant.
The guitar solo in Taxman is by Paul.
Still remember the day it came out. Great follow up to Going Underground. The Jam were untouchable in 1980.
SO TRUE!
Not up North mate - Joy Division brushed them away :)
agreed but the police had more success in 1980 and in total - world wide, even tho the jam were better
@@Spartanm333
Hmm, how many number 1 singles did Joy Division have?
The Jam were very popular up north despite what you infer!
Great lift from The Beatles 'Taxman' 1966.
i only found that out the other month when i heard "The Taxman" on the radio. i was like "hey where have i heard this before"
George Harrison described 'Start' as "the greatest Taxman cover ever.."
lol not even close
Bruce brilliant bass player ❤❤
Sometimes you forget just how good a song is. Classic
Just now seeing this comment in 2023 - priceless.
Until you realise that they ripped of Taxman by the Beatles
Oh, that bass! Foxton the coolest 😎
I think personally the only people who will truly understand Tha Jam, is those who were around at that time. A lot of people say Weller left the band as the gaffy gaffer but he is a man who was in a band and he had to move on in himself. However, nobody can replicate the Jam as a band. Take one band member away and they would never have been the same. Brilliant lyrics, music and bandness. Always in my heart and never forgotten.
They were big in my teens, but I think by 1982 he wanted to move on and do something different. At least Foxton and Buckler were man enough to know that The Jam would become a parody without him and also the mod revival was coming to an end by then, so they moved on as well. Can't say I liked The Style Council but at least Weller was keen to do something new.
Beautifully put (I was 15 when The Jam solit) fire and skill,forever in our hearts.
Yes that is so true you had to be there to appreciate how good they were and how lucky we were to be around then.
I was always more of a Style Council fan. Of course 'Our Favorite Shop' was the highlight of several years together, and 'Confessions of a Pop Group' was really out there and must have bewildered many of their fans. I read that Weller lost male fans and built up a considerable female fan base with the change in bands. When my husband and I met, he had all the Jam in his collection and now I appreciate how great and influential they were.
Blahhhh; Yeas, nicely said. They were and still are iconic!
Talent borrows, genius steals. Oscar Wilde
Paul Weller...a subtle, underestimated badass.
Woaaah.... today I was wandering on YT music and got to know there's a band called The Jam. I know nothing about music but if a bassline could tickle my ears, most definitely I'd love that song and this song did it to me. Now listening to entire Sound Affects album and it's so entertaining.
Even this video has a touch of The Beatles Rain colour video from 1966.
Do you still listen to the jam every other day like me.
Steven crainie yes mate but weirdly I’ve only just found this amazing tune
Emotionally Stable-izing Music...Paul Weller is a Wizard Wordsmith
When I get The Jam itch, this is the first classic for me. Much imitated, never replicated! Bruce is a brilliant bassist! EGAF! UK ❤ 🇬🇧
Even The Beatles copied it...err.
takes some fire and skill to make a great song out of a great song
^^^this!
A fucking immortal song repurposed and made every bit as good
Just came here from The Smiths - This Charming Man.
The Smiths and The Jam. Two bands that I will listen to forever.
I seem to recall Weller said they'd been listening to Revolver, which says a lot. But George did not sue. Given that GH was in the middle of "My sweet Lord/He's so Fine" litigation here, well, bless you George. And it's a great song
George Harrison wrote "This Song" in response after going through the litigation of My Sweet Lord"
@@rockvilleraven "could be sugar pie honey bunch? Nah, sounds more like Rescue Me! "
@@chrishowgill888 Or I need a new drug sounds like Ghostbusters
@@chrishowgill888 The Rolling Stones a gave a half songwriting credit to KD Lang because “Have you seen my baby sounds a bit like Constant Craving. Joan Jett did get royalties on the Sunday Night Football theme, because it sounds like “I Hate Myself For Loving You”.
bruce's bass lines amazing as usual and his backing vocals are decent too
Thanks Paul McCartney (Taxman bass lines).
@@rolandgeffroy6252 Just listened to Taxman and thought same.
Nah, he's ripping off the baseline from To Be Someone Must Be A Wonderful Thing
How did he think of that bass line?
@@rolandgeffroy6252 Bruce seems to have taken that and tweaked it, and it shows its improvement!
Ahem Weller is a huge Beatles fan this song is an homage to his idols. He is quite capable of coming up with his own riffs or whatever.
Thanks for saying the obvious. To a tribute not a theft.
@@robertkraljii5048
It's not obvious to people who don't know Taxman.
Brings back memories of a girl who I met in a place called bushey in Hertfordshire not seen her for 40 years but when I hear this song I always think of her.
Killer beat and song. ❤
The coolest video of all time. The Jam in 1980 were untouchable. Their absolute peak.
Even The Police ,couldn’t touch them 😂🤣 🤙🏾
Sorry, no offence but the riff is a direct rip off of the Beatles’ Tax man’ ,some cheek. S X
@@studonaldson1497 i think everyone knows that
I recall whizzing up to Woolworths on me mattalic blue Vespa 90 and guess what yeah buying it - had an American copy similar part from different texture a well cool picture from the W Y Y shoot + WYY as the B side - I'm just sayin ( still ) .
Yeah cos no other band has ever ripped off anyone else...@@studonaldson1497
Reminds me of my fave Beatles song "Tax Man."❤ both ..
One of the best by the jam
Have loved this since 80s still sounds so fresh
Everyone clocks the 'Taxman' riff, but the 'If I never ever see you' part is pure Syd Barrett....
Yes! He adds a wonderful bridge not seen in the Beatles classic
I was 14 years old when I first heard this.... I loved it so much then.....and listening to it now just takes me right back there. 🙂👍
Listen, remember and know you'll never have this again. We was just lucky
Boldog vagyok, hogy hallhatom a zenédet, képzeld az enyémet két ugyanilyen "zenésznek" szánom, mint amilyenek mi vagyunk, de nem baj ha többeknek is "gyógyírként" hat ❤
some great rock trios never last too long. the jam was one of them. 3 great muscians. beautiful arrangements and inventive playing. took their music to its conclusion in about 5 years. disbanded and became almost legendary and shurly very underrated. long live The Jam'
They weren't underated
Two more trios that were short lived were The Cream (less then four years), and the original Jimi Hendrix Experience (barely three).
@@christopherharmon2433 And Motorhead......
@@scooby2142 They were together for almost 20 years.
Iconic videos from 1980 were:
1. Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division.
2. Rat Race- The Specials
3. Start- The Jam
4. Ashes to Ashes-David Bowie
5. Coming Up- Paul McCartney.
6. Geno- Dexys Midnight Runners.
7. Lip Up Fatty- Bad Manners
8. Ant Music-Adam and The Ants.
9. Best Friend-The Beat.
10. Fade to Grey-Visage.
i love the Jam so much, they always look so good
One of my fav Jam singles. Such a great 60s/Taxman feel to it.
yeah, almost as if it sounds exactly like Taxman. Which it does.
Very taxman, bass and guitar.
@@shwing1428 Clearly inspired by, for sure, but improved upon at the same time.
@@James-co2nb I've changed in 7 months. I appreciate this jam for what it is, taking inspiration from one amazing tune to create another less amazing, but still great tune. I thank you for your patience and kindness.
@@shwing1428 I'll agree to disagree regarding the 'less amazing' 😉
As a 12 year old in 1980 I had no knowledge of the Taxman so to me and many others Start was just a great song.
I was 12 in 1980 too and was familiar with a whole lot of the Beatles catalog (including Taxman). 🤷
No one can compare
Paul Weller's ability to " Encapsulate His Feelings Emotionally " Is one of the reasons why this record has remained a " Perennial Favourite " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
Thanks 4 Your Support Re My Paul Weller/ " Start " Post . Take Care !! From Adrian Browne 1965
Its all about the bass !!!
I loved this song when it was released in 1980!
I also liked it when it was released in 1966 by the Beatles.
Also check out Beck New Pollution which "rips off" bass line from START...it's just music evolution and influence
greatest MOD promo ever...bless you Weller!
Can you *PLEASE RE-UPLOAD IN THE CORRECT ASPECT RATIO* ? ? **Please** and **Thank You** ! !
I prefer 'Taxman' seeing as we're discussing the comparisons, but this song is awesome and a fine tribute to the best.
No one asked you...
And what you give is what you get!
first single i ever bought on my own .it was 1980, i was 10 ....i remember it like it was yesterday O)
Love love love that guitar...
Loved the track ...bought the single.....found myself back here decades later....awesome!!!!!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
When it got released, everyone bought it. TOTP that week, played this video.
just enjoy the music
I'll enjoy Taxman. Not this.
Different times u won't see that again. ❤
One of the best bands ever
Fellas. This sounds as brilliant as the day of release. No wonder you broke up?! How could this continue?
I love the bass in this, maybe my favourite Jam song.
DaggylMc Gra It’s from the Beatles Taxman
@@jaydenwhitlen1489 no it isn’t.
@@TheMusicalElitist yes it is
@@jaydenwhitlen1489 its based around taxman but its not exactly the same, as a lot of ppl are implying. Weller has also acknowledged that he had taxman in mind when he wrote it.
LEGENDARY BAND
Bruce Foxton has got to be one of rock's greatest bass players ever!
No, not remotely.
If you think this song shows great bass playing, it was ripped off from “Taxman” by the Beatles.
Absolutely one of the best and massively underrated.
That's quite a simple bass line to play
Certainly one of the most fanciable anyway! 🎸
One of the best mod songs ever the guitar is fantastic what a tune
Saw them in concert when I was in high school. Sometime around 1980-1981…they were amazing.
August 1980 was a good time to be alive. There were three classic number ones in a row: Abba's 'The Winner Takes it All', Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes', and then the Jam's 'Start'. And then the kids went back to school and Kelly Marie had her one-hit-wonder.
Best band ever
Dont agree.ABBA is the best band ever LOL
no
No one did cool as Weller not then and not now
Absolutely loved these guys
good to see your use of 'love' in the past tense
The first vinyl 45 I ever bought
Sounds like an outtake from The Rutles.
Impossible not to try some air drumming listening to this .....
Cos I'm The Taxman..........yeah The Taxman!
+Tracey Hudson We KNOW haha. That bassline
Scenes
Absolutely, but much better!!!!!!!!
Tracey Hudson BeatlesのTaxmanだよね（笑）
I like The Smiths and as Noel said The Smiths followed The Jam,The Roses followed The Smiths and Oasis followed The Roses but The Jam were very special and influenced every decent British band that followed them
Luv
UK number one 6 September 1980.
My fav tune,Base is just crazy...If I never ever see you if I never ever see you again
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
That bassline and chorus is just sick!
TheRegart thank the Beatles
I dunno...sounds pretty healthy to me.
Never heard of taxman by the Beatles?
Taxman
@@brianafogado even the guitar solo is similar to taxman
I couldn't find this album/45 anywhere as a teenager when it came out. I saw this video on MTV, so many years ago..... Now my life is complete.
One of my favourites 🎸🎸
Cornwall , shed found in middle of nowhere, 2 15 AM,1990, parked two vespas and drank cider till the sun came up listeninng to this. Magic tune , old now,me and the same best mate just did same again. Was 17,now 47 , shit i can drink more now and enjoy music twice as much
The Boys at their tightest xx Great Bass Great Drums and Great Lead Vocal and Guitar. Just perfection.
Exactly!!
Just introduced my 7 year old to this belter...love this song 🎵
raw talent….unreal,love the Jam
The jam start classic song from the eighties good song from them forty five years old still sounds good now good stuff bring it back again today hopefully listening to music
Some weird stuff on revolver album
Way better than revolver!

Great camerawork.
Isn't there a sax part in the last part of the chorus towards the end? It's not in this version .
paul weller = magic
That bassline and chorus is just sick!
Baseline good isn’t it? Great work from Paul McCartney there
@@MrToastBenstudios Apparently Paul didn't mind.
Dunno, sounds pretty healthy to me.
Shooow, curto mto essa banda ❤
Weller told a one of the music papers at the time that the band had been listening to The Beatles Revolver during their tour of Japan. Finally The Beatles meld with The Who!
Love you John miss those days rocking to the Jam. Hopefully I'll see you again.
The best band that most Americans have never even heard of.
I'm a Chicagoan and let love the man. See him everytime he comes to Chicago.
I'm glad they never got George Martin to produce them to make it big here.
Only The Americans That Live Under Rocks🤪
So true it's scary and makes me jealous of those in England who got to appreciate them on their way up and then their pinnacle and no way back down.
The Jam was one big bad power trio!
I swear that bassline's been sampled a million times, just can't remember where I first heard it.
It's a Beatles bassline. From 'Taxman'.
@@breakfreak3181 thank you! It was driving me crazy
@@noelleelizabeth9991
No problem! I hate it when I can't figure out a where sample or musical element was originally from!
You can, but you're just trying to be funny.
Remember Bruce ❤
Muiito som e muito estilo 😎
Estilo "Taxman" The Beatles
British Music is the best Music! There`s absolutely no Doubt!
🇬🇧💪
Incredibly classy of George Harrison to just let this go and not kick up a fuss.
He’d just endured a trial over He’s So Fine/My Sweet Lord so maybe he’d had enough of lawyers at that point
@john Listen to his song "Sue Me, Sue You Blues."
He probably didn't care, at all.
My favourite song by the jam
This is one of my favourite George Harrison songs.
Great Rhythm.
