The finest Jam album? It’s a bold claim but AMC is certainly the album where Paul Weller found his songwriting voice, picking up the baton from classic English songwriters like the Kinks’ Ray Davis (the album includes a sparkling updating of the Kinks’ ‘David Watts’) and delivering a set of superior songs about English life. Blending all his mod influences magpie fashion, Weller crafted the classic Jam sound: razor-sharp, close to feedbacking Rickenbacker guitar, melodic basslines from Bruce Foxton and a drum sound courtesy of Rick Buckler you could cut a diamond with.
