Review by Steve Ball

Greatest Hits by Jam is a compilation album that brings together some of the most iconic tracks from the British band's discography. The album features 21 songs that span the band's career from 1977 to 1982 and includes hits such as "Town Called Malice," "Going Underground," and "That's Entertainment."

The album showcases the band's unique blend of punk, mod, and new wave influences, and highlights their ability to write catchy, anthemic songs that resonate with audiences to this day. The tracks are expertly curated to flow seamlessly from one to the next, creating a cohesive listening experience that captures the energy and spirit of the band.

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change
This town called Malice
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
In a town called Malice, yeah
Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called Malice, ooh yeah
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings
Lost laughter in the breeze
Could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh
In this town called Malice, yeah
In this town called Malice, ooh yeah

If Rodney got his band going, kicked Mental Mickey in the ballz and out of the band and became the singer, this is exactly how I'd imagine him sounding.

I remember as a kid living on a council estate, this song going into the charts at number 1, was so relateable to working class life, an absolute classic that takes me back to a time and place.
