Some great music from the 80s, no.30

The Jam. A Town Called Malice

This classic social commentary from Paul Weller & the Jam is a driving post-punk bit of rock-pop that both skewed the Thatcherite attrition on working class communities & related Weller's own journey away from his roots. The Jam's normal sound is wonderfully complemented by the Hammond organ at the centre of the mix (played by producer Pete Wilson) & hinted at where Weller was going with the Style Council.

@ChrisMayLA6 Weller’s best song. “A hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts” is a great line.
@ChrisMayLA6 the stand out moment in the film Billy Elliot from 2000.
