Princesa - "Beat Surrender" by The Jam was a great record.
It was their farewell record before breaking the band up. Paul Weller went on to a successful post-Jam career that's still going strong today. The other guys went on to.....ummmmm....

What kind of music did they do? Do they have a New Wave sound>? I like a lot of New Wave stuff. I'll download the song later when I have more time. I feel like I'm the only person in the world who still has a dial up connection >:(

Trust me, you are NOT the only one who still has dial up. At least we finally got ours working the way it is supposed to and not getting booted every 5 minutes.

Their stuff is kinda indie I guess - it may, just slightly fit into on end of the new wave genre. The Jam were very big in England - but Beat Surrender is no way their greatest song. It's probably a little 'pop-ier' than their other songs. If you've seen Billy Elliot - you'd recognise the song 'Town Called Malice' from the scene where he is dancing in the street - that song is great, definitly worth getting :) I'd also recommend:

Start
Going Underground
Absolute Beginners
Just Who Is The 5 o'clock Hero?
Eton Rifles

(I'm a bit of a fan :))

The cheesier, the better, IMO, especially if you were born in the Seventies. :)
