| tuley75 - so as a fan of the Jam who happens to think from funeral pyre onwards the group lost its edge and did songs that were more suited to the stle counsil stuff makes me an idiot. Diversity at the cost of content and quality and alienating the fanbase isn't always a good thing. Like you I am entitled to an opinion there's no need for the insult, if you think Beat Surrender is the definitive Jam song then it is you that is the idiot.Try listening to songs like In the city to Butterfly collector to man in the corner shop to see Wellers true worth as a songwriter. | |

| The Jam's final single was always going to be number 1 in Britain, but this song seriously deserved that position on it's own merit. This rock-soul hybrid absolutley thunders along with a great double-tracked call and respond vocal from Paul Weller. "You see me come running, to the sound of your strumming!" | |

| I agree with sivilla. The Jam were "the" band in the day, the later stuff was ok, but should have been saved for the Style Council. 1 | |

| absolute tripe, should have been saved for the style council, I loved the Jam but this was pure garbage, no guitars, understated drums and brass and keyboards the order of the day. | |
