Episode 22: Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World Episode #22: More Mod Beats

Welcome to episode #22 featuring an exceptional track list. I've
got a new feature I'm trying out, tracing the roots of current
mod bands and bands obviously heavily influenced by mod music. So
for this episode I've got The Who, The Jam & Green Day.
[Originally aired August 2007 on Mistersuave.com]

To set the scene here's a passage from Mr. Suave's First Epistle
to the Mods.
Chapter 1
Verse 1: In the beginning was The Who and the
mods knew it was good. It was loud and brash and full of
danceable rhythm.
Verse 2: The Who begat the Jam and the punks and
mods knew it was good. It was fast and it was soulful.
Verse 3: The Jam begat Green Day. And the punks
and the mods and the masses finally all opened their ears and
knew it was good. It was loud, and brash, and fast. And
ultimately they showered it with silver and gold.
