Everyone seems to have a strong opinion on the Jam, one way or the other

I would happily save the husky owl, the Vegemite sandwich and the self-righteous tosser and his band to see Town Called Malice kicked off. I’ve no particular dislike of The Jam or Paul Weller, but that song is toss I’m afraid (as is Going Underground). Down In The Tube Station At Midnight is fucking brilliant and some of Weller’s solo stuff is great too.

How can Down in the tube station at midnight be brilliant and Going underground be 'toss'.

Jam songs in general sound similar, and those 2 both use a similar chord progression and both are about the underground :D

There are similarities, but they’re different enough for one to be brilliant and one to be toss. Songs that are overplayed or overrated have a tendency to get on my nerves too, and Going Underground is both of those things.
