Massively successful British band who helped usher in both the punk movement and the mod revival of the late 70s. Though they never really caught on in America (understandably, as their music and image was saturated in Briticism), they were extremely successful in Britain, bringing punk to the mainstream. The group released a series of peerless albums in their short career, capitulated by the trinity of
All Mon Cons (1978), Setting Sons (1979) and Sound Affects (1981). Lead vocalist and songwriter Paul Weller, despite his band's massive success and his mainstream appeal, decided to disband the group at the peak of their
success in 1982. Their final studio album, The Gift was their first #1 in the UK,
despite being ravaged critically. At present, the Jam are recognised as required listening for punk, post-punk, new wave, mod revival, and pop music. « hide |
