The Jam was the best band of the 70's punk movement and there is literally no other valid opinion.

"And everyone seems that they're acting a dream, cause they're just not thinking about each other, and they're taking orders, which are media spawned, and they should know better, now you have been warned..."
Not Punk eh?

You're dumb and you're smart simultaneously. You're dumb in that that era produced The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, The Damned, Blondie, XTC, and The Dictators. You're smart in that The Jam were the artsiest of all bands while still maintaining a rough edge. Let's call The Jam "The Rubber Soul of 70s Punk."
Before I go, it bears saying that TRUE, hardcore fans of 70s punk would argue that punk was NEVER about (or was never supposed TO BE about) artsiness. In fact, punk was a reaction to the ascension of art in rock music. It was a middle finger to art. The idea was "Let's get back to Little Richard and Eddie Cochran -- only louder." In Britain, but not in America, punk included lots of anti-social lyrics. More accurately, anti-System lyrics.
Bottom line, though? Love The Jam! Really great, one-of-a-kind band.

>Basic, Power Chord focused songs.
>short and fast tunes
>Distorted guitar, bass, drums, trifecta.
>Gruff, working class vocals
>topical and anti establishment lyrics
>not punk.
Their sound was no different to the buzzcocks or the ramones.
Parker Powell
>Their sound was no different to the buzzcocks or the ramones.
a) yes it was
b) ramones and buzzcocks are pop punk

The technical style was of the era. Punk, as defined by the first wave was protest, non-conformity. It was as much to do with image if not more so. It certainly was working class and this fucked your point - The Jam was 'clean' punk for middle class kids. I mean if you want to call The Jam punk, then so were The Smiths lol
Mason Walker
Why does OP saying he likes The Jam make you so furious?
David Wood
>The Smiths lol
They were working class too, unlike Weller who was from posh Surrey

Although several years later, doesn't qualify for 70's it's quintessential

"MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION IS ACTUALLY FACT."
Eat shit and die, faggot. Waste of a fucking thread.
Nicholas Moore
who cares what class they belonged to? The Clash weren't exactly working class, but if you think they aren't quintessential punk, you're either a close-minded "hurr muh werkin class ya rich bitch" twat or don't know anything about punk
