That’s entertainment (1980)
Sound Affects另一首名曲，它宏大的英伦浮世绘其实也是Weller一气呵成迅速写出的白描，就像它朴素的扫弦。但在冷眼旁观

Pretty green (1980)
五专sound affects开场曲或许是乐队伴奏层次张力设计得最强的，从bass前奏到鼓的空气感到第二段躁动的吉他，都是契合主题的硬朗。旋律又炮制了一首耐听重复+惊喜转折。

Start! (1980)
著名的照搬披头士Taxman经典riff的冠单，即使有着自己的独特旋律发展 (怪不得Noel Gallagher人称Paul Weller门徒)与同时更张扬而微妙的演绎。它对变革的牵头与展望也奠定了Weller教父般的气场。

Going underground (1980)
The Jam所有专辑外单曲最重量级的，或许也是他们演绎最具侵略性的，有着国歌式热血煽动力。Paul Weller在这里将流行性与时代发言人完美融合，为他们随后商业的进一步登顶铺平了道路。

Smithers jones （1979）
The Jam少见由贝斯手Bruce foxton写的杰作，小职员的荒唐辛酸泪。专辑的弦乐版与单曲B面的吉他摇滚各有特色，流畅的巴洛克风味，令人唏嘘的欧亨利式结尾。
YouTube
The Jam - Setting Sons - Smithers-JonesSetting Sons is the fourth studio album by British band The Jam. The group's critical and commercial favour, begun with their third album, All Mod Cons, continued through this album. "The Eton Rifles" became the group's first top 10 UK hit, peaking at #3.…
Private hell (1979)
在我最喜欢他们的setting sons专辑 (虽然因为半概念半散装显得有些割裂) 里在上首他们最热烈的歌之后便是这首音乐最阴狠但力度与激情不减的。bass存在感很强，也有着一贯的精心设计的重复旋律与惊喜的bridge转折，和手术刀般的歌词。

Thick as thieves (1979)
The Jam最浪漫的歌，可能也是我听过最美的关于“少年兄弟情”的，现实与滤镜的你中有我。演绎更是没有一秒拖泥带水，遗憾得如此激荡飞扬，到了bridge的stranger/ lone ranger的那两句词曲更是将浓度完全升华。

Eton rifles (1979)
Paul Weller的社会抨击在这首四专先行单曲里来到了新高。主副歌各自的重复理论上的有点单调也被音乐厚重的质感，表达出的理想的怒火完全化解。bridge与间奏则贡献了带着无奈的最大惊喜。

To be someone (1978)
另一首来自三专All mod cons的，也是乐队结构最出人意料的，虽然仍是短小精悍。从抓耳riff到节奏型的转折，从前面伴奏加入的对话到随着歌曲发展出现新的旋律，过山车般的精彩。它说的名利场难道不也是如此吗，即使也是一地鸡毛。

Down in the tube station at midnight (1978)
The Jam生涯最“长篇”的名曲，也有着他们最独特的前奏，仿佛同年的the police的标志性律动，在这里则为地铁里的可怕故事做了贴切的铺垫。主歌的不祥烘托与副歌平铺直叙的转折撑起了它的篇幅。

Aunties and uncles (1978)
The Jam和许多经典英国乐队都在专辑外有许多高质量单曲，但其中我相对最有感觉的之一却是这首B面，在轻松与严肃，熟悉与惊喜之间的平衡。

Life from a window (1977)
The Jam二专虽然总体更平淡但也开始了对深度的追求，这首苦乐参半的基调经过Weller旋律灵感的表达令人难忘。

本周推荐作为77朋克风潮偏根源的一支，随后掀起60s Mod复兴风潮并成为英国国民级乐队，兼具信手拈来的流行性与为工薪阶层发声的社会性，也被日后Britpop艺人们所景仰的the Jam乐队。主唱Paul Weller毫不掩饰他对黑人音乐的热爱与对现状的锐利剖析，即使乐队在如日中天时因方向分歧而解散也不影响他随后几十年如一日地产出保质保量新作。
In the city (1977)
The Jam首专标题曲也是他们最“热血青年”的歌。但在77那一波痞赖无政府朋克乐队里他们的冲击力之下更显沉稳，是有着理想，变革诉求的对话，演唱也有着根源的嚼劲。它的riff还被性手枪用在了holidays in the sun里。
