Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about IN THE CITY (page 1/1) ------ performed by The Jam punk and mod in one ;) | Reviewer: T@m | 10/6/09 I think "young idea" is a new music, it's all type punk music, but this song is special. This song tell about punk (mod revival) music, not punk (anarchopunk)/Sex Pistols/, not punk (rock'n'roll revival) /Ramones/, not punk (punkrock) /The Clash/, not punk like Damned, but this is about punk rock (mod revival) The Jam:)))) "In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms" "Young idea" is punk rock, but in style mod (rock) revival .... like The Jam is punk The Kinks or punk The Who.... Perfect song and perfect lyrics. Thx;) Great song | Reviewer: Tim | 10/25/07 Righteous aggression. Love this song, blistering, infectious, energetic, charistmatic. I read the lyrics and I wouldn't mind knowing what influenced Paul Weller to right the lyrics. What exactly is the "young idea?" Is it punk music? British music at its best | Reviewer: www.leon_trotsky_1917@hotmail.co.uk | 12/21/05 IN THE CITY is charged with aggression, it gets the pulse going, because it is such a fantastic song. It is sung with tanacity by Paul Weller, and the three give the world a song which is a great reminder of how Punk Rock influenced British music from 1977 onwards. It is still influencing music today, where bands are still trying to conjure the feeling of dissaffection and the need to rebel. This makes THE JAM stand out as one of the greats amongst the British Rock scene, for being able to be so charismatic with lyrics, and music, to be part of the 1977 generation, and to have captured many young people's imaginations. It reveals the bands' true genius, and this is a pefect reason why they were so great. Add Your New Review About The Song
