@Salacious-Crumb I was a big Yes fan in the day but couldn't listen to a whole side now
So I take it then you haven't bought PROGeny ...
...the 14-CD box-set - seven complete concert performances of Close To The Edge from their 1972 American tour.
It's too precious to lug around in the car, so I made cdr dubs and have labelled them Sunday 1+2; Monday 1+2; Tuesday 1+2, Wednesday 1+2; Thursday 1+2; Friday 1+2; Saturday 1+2.
(Psst! A little bird told me every one of those shows has been uploaded to youtube.)

Thrashing old Jam albums at the moment. It's not as if I don't listen to them anyway but went to a pub talk the other night from Rick Buckler. Great way to spend an evening after work. £5 got entry, a pint and a meal.
Anyway, Rick was a good talker and a really nice bloke. Put together some good stories that explained how the Jam's sound came about.
He may never go down in history as one of the great drummers but Rick, Bruce and Paul had this thing going that was more than the sum of the parts.Got a selfie with the man and shook his hand. As I was going home though some of the audiences questions had me wondering if I was even able to rank their albums and I reckon that their output for a short period was so good that I can't really split three albums all released in succession.
If I had to make a list it would be- = Setting Sons, All Mod Cons, Sound Affects
- This is the Modern World
- The Gift
- In the City
It hurts to have to put In The City at the bottom of list especially when the title track would be my favourite Jam song overall.
Have to add the obligatory clip and have chosen one where Rick's drumming is as frantic as the guitar and bass thrashing.

@Crucial C'mon they only put out 6 albums and you have three as equal #1 COP-OUT!
Setting Sons
All Mod Cons
Sound Affects
This Is The Modern World
In The City
The GiftSetting Sons was released the week I arrived in UK so it is particularly memorable
Although first song I ever heard in Europe on radio was this:
Hardly the best start
Jam must have felt like The Beach Boys Pet Sounds to Beatles Sgt Peppers with SS trumped by London Calling within a month
Lucky enough to catch them both live - but not Fiddlers Dram
-
@dogmeat yeah, I just like all three equally for different reasons. If I had to order them though, I agree with your top 3.
Don't think The Gift deserves to be last though. Its a very uneven album with styles jumping around but has more great songs than ITC
Ghosts, Malice, Carnation would all make my best of playlist but only really ITC itself would.
-
@Crucial I fucken loathe Malice - hence The Gift coming bottom. I think it's just one of those songs that got done to death on radio and as a result I'm over it.
Strong lyrically though I'll give you that. I find Precious more interesting now as it definitely foreshadows Wellers work with TSC

Did sumbody say "The Jam"...?
Grand Central Station - "The Jam" (1975)
Oh solikai, I am Wenual, they call me the Wiccan
I am not one of you, I will like to make you one of us
All you have to do is just "wisten" to my "wum"
Then you will know why they call me Wenual

Hendrix estate is super-stingy with what they permit goin' up on youtube... here's a clip from the Classic Albums "making-of" doc series talkin' about May This Be Love.

Motorhead just dropped a "new" posthumous LP on Friday, UNDER COVER (with an umlaut over the "O") -- a bunch o' covers by Stones, Ramones, Bowie, Metallica, and a few others, including the Nuge (see below)I think every one of these tracks have already been released on prev albums, so it's not exactly "emptying the vaults" and it's not anything close to being essential, but it is fun.
