I would like to see what our old pal Stewart has to say about this.

'twould be more accurate to say that The Jam were aping British bands aping American music. How many "mod" bands actually were mod bands?

That's true (and what I was trying to say initially, before I edited my post to reduce clarity), early on at least, before they just started flat-out aping Motown rather than channeling it through an intermediary British source.

also "aping" is a goofy-looking word when it's used with any frequency.

*I like some of the Mod covers better'n the Motown originals though - Action's "I'll Keep Holding On" and Small Faces' "Baby Don't You Do It" kinda pwn their respective sources*
