What's your favorite of these Jam albums? I'd have to go with All Mod Cons

I went with Setting Sons (it's either that or Sound Affects, for me....)

Pick only one of the Saint Trilogy (All Mod Cons, Setting Sons, Sound Affects) ?
Tough question ! I really can't choose !

Yep, pretty tough to decide between those three. I'd go with Setting Suns if someone pointed jam to my head. AMC would be second, SA would be #3. I can say one thing for certain - The Gift would be my least favorite due to all the forced brass on it. Just what was Paul Weller thinking?

The Gift...paved the way for The Style Council (who, in my opinion are better than the Jam, as I hate punk)

Sound Affects was the first Jam CD I bought and still my favourite, "Man in the corner shop" sums up everything about capitalism & religion in one brilliantly perceptive lyric while the tune has to be among Weller's most poignant.
Plus other diverse, complementary songs from the 60s guitar-funk hybrids Pretty Green & Scrape Away, bracing hard rockers But I'm Different Now and Set The House Ablaze (Buckler's drumming on the latter is stunning) and two of the undisputed best singles of the band's career in Start and That's Entertainment.

^^NO doubt a classic album and one of their finest moments. I think all the Jam's albums (even AMC) had something to offer, but Setting Sons to me, means the most. Its full of stories of how life changes, about how we grow up and lose touch with people we never thought we would, how "the dreams we have as children fade away". It definitely strikes a chord.
I prefer to listen to an 'adulterated' version of Setting Sons that includes the singles from the time and packs more of a punch IMO.
1. Girl on the Phone
2. Thick as Thieves
3. Private Hell
4. Little Boy Soldiers
5. When You're Young
6. Burning Sky (acoustic version on Extras is great too)
7. Smithers Jones
8. Saturday's Kids
9. Eton Rifles
10. The Dreams of Children
11. Going Underground
12. Wasteland
I realize that tracks 10 and 11 were'nt released when Setting Sons was, but after it, but...that doesn't matter. I'm allowed to make the album reach its potential here.

Even though its not my favourite, I like your argument for it so much, I'll give you K+. Well articulated. |

Just a footnote here - the U.S. version of "Setting Sons" when released on vinyl back in 1979 actually screwed up the sides. "Burning Sky" opened Side A, and "Girl On The Phone" opened Side B. Also, the U.S. version included "Strange Town." |
