Hate to do it but it's near the end and you have to "Start!" somewhere.

IMO, The Modern World just doesn't stack up to the other two...

Although "That's Entertainment" was more popular, In the City is much more signature Jam. Therefore...

In the City wins!

Al-Righty Then, it's: "In The City" wins from The Jam's first album IN THE CITY - Polydor 2383 447, Released May 1977 - Highest chart placing #20 (in UK).

I can live with that! When you see their live versions of it, you realize what a signature Jam song it is, with Weller and Foxton screaming into their mics, Foxton just hammering his base lines, and Butler sweating it out in some tiny couped-up stage. It's debatable that In the City is their greatest song, but it sure is classic, classic Jam.

Edit: See for yourselves. From The Jam Complete DVD set, which I highly recommend all fans to pick up. An intro from Tony Wilson off his So It Goes show no less...

Although That's Entertainment is my personal favorite, I can certainly live with In The City. Another great song. This poll worked itself out
