OFF: The Weller/Kilmister controversy

[Ulf Hamr]

Agreed, The Jam, were probably one of the best bands to come out of that era, to call them rubbish, is almost as daft as saying the Beatles sucked.

The best of The Jam stands up well against anything else of its era, and as for the current crop of guitar bands, more of them sound like XTC wannabes or bad Joy Division copyists than sound like Jam tribute acts.  There are plenty of Lemmy afficionados out there too.  If you're going to kvetch about dreck, just consider the vile trash that's being squeezed out of Cowell's & Walsh's toothpaste tubes - they make the old SAW stable look like great artists!
