The Jam Artist Snapshot:

The Jam were at the forefront of two musical movements at once in late-'70s England--punk and the mod revival. While the young trio possessed just as much brashness and raw energy as the Sex Pistols or the Clash, they also had the pop smarts and soul influences of '60s mods like the Creation, the Action, and the early Who. Over a series of sterling albums, the Jam's sound and singer/guitarist Paul Weller's songwriting grew increasingly sophisticated before the band's early-'80s breakup. Subsequently, Weller moved on to the cooler, pop/soul-oriented Style Council, and eventually struck out on his own, releasing a series of well-regarded solo albums.

Though the Jam is rightly counted among Britain's pioneering punk bands, Paul Weller and his cohorts never did quite fit the mold. While the Woking combo's early recordings certainly traded in a brand of raw aggression similar to the Sex Pistols, they always placed a premium on the distinctly anti-punk virtues of catchy melodies, '60s cover tunes, and precise musicianship. In addition, the Jam's fashion sense matched the music; safety pins and combat boots were eschewed in favor of sharp three-button mod suits and two-tone shoes. More importantly, the Jam was one of the few original punk-era groups to break away from the genre's narrow confines and progress artistically, while simultaneously garnering huge commercial success in the UK.

THE SOUND OF THE JAM collects the best of group's studio efforts, from the angry youthful politics and primal guitar fury of "In the City" (whose main riff was allegedly nicked by the Sex Pistols for their "Holidays in the Sun") to the keen social commentary and acoustic pop of "That's Entertainment" to the Style Council-foreshadowing neo-soul of "Beat Surrender." A remarkably comprehensive single-disc compilation, the album reveals both the Jam's indomitable rock spirit and the wide scope of its genius.
