The Jam is one of my all time favorite bands. They never made it big in the US, but they were huge in the UK, outselling the Clash and the Sex Pistols. They started out as a punk band, but like the Clash they showed their intelligence and their political side as they matured. I generally don't like to recommend greatest hits records, but I think this is an exception and really the best way to experience the band. Snap! is a 29-track, double-CD set (along with a triple-disc deluxe edition that adds the live EP — recorded at the band's final concert at Wembley Arena), make sure you don't get the 8-track Compact Snap! The double CD will take you through their entire career with all the hits and some great extras.
