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.
@sivilla I agree, Funeral Pyre was their last angry (and angriest) song. After that it was more 'Lets try protesting' instead of 'Lets spit and rage'.

After 81, Paul wanted to take the band in a different direction, less spit and more soul. Bruce and Rick didn't agree and that's why the band split a year later. One of the darkest days in music when they split, I was only seven in '82 and I was a massive Jam fan,
