- NME's ethos was straightforward: power to the people. The people in question being our readers, who had first call on our loyalty.

- The Jam brought us the sound of '65 in 1976 and now in 1978 they bring us the sound of '66. Again, they've done it in such a way that it all sounds fresher and newer than anything else this year.
