The Jam

No, I don’t think so. Amazing lyrics, amazing tunes.

Who is your amazing band?

I love The Jam. My favourite track by them is 'A bomb in Wardour Street'. My amazing band is Thin Lizzy. I've loved them since I was 15.

Love James, but mine has to be The Charlatans.

Anoisagusaris · 21/08/2021 18:34

Yes, love the Jam. The Pogues are another band that I think have that magic of amazing lyrics and huge energy in their music.

My band will always be Oasis though. (Not the later years though).

ELO, Fleetwood Mac spring to mind before any of those.

NigellaSeed · 21/08/2021 18:59

*Pearl Jam. And no, there isn't

Squeeze and the First National Band

Do you only like bands with the letters J A and M in?

I LOVE the Manic street preachers and James and Super furry Animals and Public Service Broadcasting and Bananarama.

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes. Greatest band no-one seems to have heard of.

amillionrosepetals · 21/08/2021 19:39

Jukes, not Dukes!

Choice4567 · 21/08/2021 19:40

The Eagles. Hands down.

groundcontroltomontydon · 21/08/2021 20:00

Came here to say Super Furries but less than a page in and they've already had a mention, rah! I'll add the National to the mix.

goingtotown · 21/08/2021 21:01

Pink Floyd.

DupontsLark · 21/08/2021 21:03

I knew you were going to say The Jam before I opened the thread!

Deacon Blue. Absolutely awesome live.

Fordian · 21/08/2021 21:07

Genesis. I'm old.

ThePontiacBandit · 21/08/2021 21:08

Bon Jovi. Loved them since I was 12. Still listen to them regularly and have seen them live lots of times.

Daisyhoney · 21/08/2021 21:24

Big Country and Talk Talk - loved both for nearly forty years

weegiemum · 21/08/2021 21:27

Barenaked Ladies

Abba
Queen

FoxBaseBeta · 21/08/2021 21:32

Suede

ExtremelyDisorganised · 21/08/2021 21:34

The Jam for me too, first band I ever saw live. James a close second, first saw them as unknowns supporting The Smiths. They blew us away.
