Surprised myself this week by spinning these after a long time no hearand remaining word (but not note, alas) perfect. Anyone else want to confess to disconnected angst-ridden teen lyric revision.....

    The bus driver who took me to school was a real kinda dude. He played this album every morning.

    I heard a song from it recently, and to my horror I can still remember the words, even though I hated it fervently at the time.

    School summer holidays just flew by... Solos note-for-note, of course.

    Good band. I am too old to be receptive to opinions contrary to this.

    Rick was a true mack. Even when dressed as a prostitute.

    How bout ones that are consistent with it? I will always ride for Maiden. I've lost my ability to sing along all the way through with my favorite ones of theirs.


    I think the only one I could really fuck with word for word nowadays is Low End Theory.

    if only Weller had thought to sing verses of Shakespeare or reams of important equations, I would have learned better and passed exams better. Selfish Modfather.

    Bizarrely I am listening to this as I read the post... I don't think The Jam ever cracked the US to any extent, but their sets are pretty consistent, and given the age of the band at the time, I have to give them their props.

    Setting Sons always gets overlooked in the backward glancing history re-writes, in favour of AMC and even Sound Affects; but virtually the whole school could sing this album in its entirety back in the day. Nowadays it does sound a teeny bit disjointed, but what good songs, delivered with power and no little venom.
    Have to admit, it was VERY English. No wonder the American bredren never dug. In a hundred years time it will be listed as a psych grail.

    I can probably sing the entire Jane's Addiction catalog, even though I haven't heard those records in years. I could also probably go word for word on "Ride the Lightning" and "Justice for All." Possibly "Fear of a Black Planet" as well. Now that we can burn custom mixes these days, knowing whole albums has to be less common.

    And co-sign on that first Cypress Hill record.
