Big fan of Tom DeLonge, seems to have gone of the rails somewhat recently with all the alien stuff tho
This track always reminds me of my mate Mark, who sadly died a little over 10 years ago. (There is a plaque to his memory in the East Stand Lower). He lent me a compilation of their stuff, called Goldmine Trash, that I've been trying to get on vinyl for ages. I used to have all their albums, but sold most when i was skint about 15 years ago, as a lot of the CDs are very rare.
This has just played on my iPod so had to share. Without a doubt one of The Jams best songs and in my top five songs by the great band.
I used to have a t shirt with this label on. Got a picture somewhere with me & my brother in it & I'm wearing said t-shirt. It was bright orange & I bought it in Other Clothes in Leeds about 1990.
Too right, putting a top ten of best songs together is so difficult. It's a tough call but I'd probably go for Down in the Tube Station at Midnight as my favourite.
