The Jam were the definitive heirs to the Mod sound of The Who, and the proof can be heard on 1977's "This Is The Modern World". This album was just as good, if not better than the first one! We got the rocking title song "This Is The Modern World" and "London Traffic" followed by "Standards", the reflective and excellent "Life From A Window", "The Combine", "Don't Tell Them You're Sane", the angry "In the Street Today", the happy "London Girl", the excellent pop sensibilities of "I Need You" (For Someone), the 'let's get ripped' of "Here Comes the Weekend", and Paul shined with a song that could have been produced by The Zombies or The Who in the beautiful "Tonight At Noon", and the rocking closing cover of "In the Midnight Hour". The great music of the 60's was recaptured and made new by The Jam.
