“Here Comes the Weekend” by The Jam
From the album This Is the Modern World (1977)
“Here Comes the Weekend” by The Jam appears on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station between 1989 and 1991. It was first released in 1977 on the album This Is the Modern World. Its best result is #487 on the WOXY Modern Rock 500 (1989). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,401 alternative song of all time.
Paul Weller wrote "Here Comes the Weekend" on his own, words and music, and it sits on This Is the Modern World, the Jam's second album, which Polydor put out on 18 November 1977, a mere six months after In the City. Weller plays guitar, Bruce Foxton bass and Rick Buckler drums, with Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and Chris Parry producing and Coppersmith-Heaven engineering.
It never went out as a single, since the album's only one was a censored "The Modern World", so it lives on as an album track. The critics gave the record a kicking at the time, though it has since been heard as a set with more range and contrast than the debut.
