So…best single by The Jam, commonly reckoned to be one of the greatest singles bands ever, and quite rightly so?
‘Going Underground?’
That would get many people’s votes – but not mine. Close, but no cigar.
‘Funeral Pyre?’
I love it, and it was nice to see it on Ashes To Ashes last week – but no.
‘News Of the World?’
Now you’re being silly, aren’t you?
No -as the clue at the top may have given it away, it’s got to be ‘Strange Town’ – ‘In the City part 2’ it may be lyrically, but this beats all the others hands down.
Oh and best non-single Jam song? I’d go for ‘Ghosts.’
No, not the Japan song, but can be found on The Gift…
