The Jam

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

Who is your amazing band?

The beatles I've been the biggest fan since I was about 9. I'm now 36 my children have beatles names

bringbacksideburns · 21/08/2021 21:38

That's entertainment is an amazing song.

They are brilliant but so were The Beatles, The Raconteurs, The Velvet Underground, Queen, The Small Faces, The Violent Femme, Blondie, Abba ..

Iamacatslave · 21/08/2021 21:38

Depeche Mode
Talk Talk

MyfanwyMontez · 21/08/2021 21:42

The Psychedelic Furs.

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 21/08/2021 21:43

Rush

I’m old and seriously uncool.

SnotandBothered · 21/08/2021 21:45

No way could I pick one. I've tried to quickly cobble together my top ten (not in order). I will probably drive myself wanting to 'replace' now for the rest of the evening. But in two minutes this was what felt right...

Arctic Monkeys
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Stone Roses
Pearl Jam
Fleetwood Mac
Squeeze
Jam
Kings of Leon
Blondie
Pulp

SnotandBothered · 21/08/2021 21:46

See... already... Radiohead should be on that list. No idea who comes off though

CoasterCoaster · 21/08/2021 21:51

Stone Roses for me, listen to the guitar solo in Tears if you want to know why Smile Arctics a close second and a million others close behind them Grin

NeverTalkToStrangers · 21/08/2021 21:51

Rolling Stones

Nordstrom · 21/08/2021 21:52

Foo Fighters of course

ballerina1971 · 21/08/2021 21:55

Guns n Rose's, Fleetwood Mac and Eurythmics, I have loved these since I was younger (I'm old now 🤣) and still happy to listen to them all these years later. Also have seen them in concert many times

JustGiveMeTwoMinutes · 21/08/2021 21:59

REM, Coldplay, The Pixies

Lavenderpillow · 21/08/2021 21:59

Agree that That’s Entertainment is a fantastic song.

rslsys · 21/08/2021 22:07

@Duchess379

Second that
drpaddington · 21/08/2021 22:07

Bon Jovi
Kings of Leon
Red hot chilli peppers
Foo fighters
Guns and roses

Immaculatemisconception · 21/08/2021 22:07

Radiohead and REM

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 21/08/2021 22:08

My favourite Jam song is Wasteland from Setting Sons. I bought the album recently having not heard it since 1983, probably, and I remembered all the words.

Cam2020 · 21/08/2021 22:09

Foo Fighters and KOL. So many good bands listed here though and I actually love most of them.

Starsailor were massively under-rated back in the day.

newnortherner111 · 21/08/2021 22:10

The Jam had one genius (Paul Weller), one decent drummer and then Bruce Foxton.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 21/08/2021 22:15

@BobbinThreadbare123

Rammstein Grin
Yes yes yes!

Also a converted fan of the Deathstars having seen them support Rammstein on tour. They were bloody awesome 🔥💥
