◇ image via WikipediaThe Jam
The Jam is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, The Who, The Beatles and Michael Jackson. Those roots explain a lot about how The Jam arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Paul Weller, Madness, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers and Buzzcocks, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Green Day, U2, The Offspring, Manic Street Preachers and Foo Fighters, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 69 connections around The Jam, reaching back through Chuck Berry and forward to Green Day.
