The 12 Best Mod Albums of all Time

Mod subculture has been around for several decades now, and for good reason. It's a movement that has its roots in the United Kingdom, born out of a desire to express a unique sense of style and attitude. It has since spread across the world, taking on various aspects and meanings in different countries.

At the centre of mod culture is the idea of modernity and progress, blending fashion, music and lifestyle into a distinct way of life. Mods often wear tailored suits, drive modern cars, and listen to popular music from the 1950s and 60s. This combination of elements has made the mod scene one of the most vibrant and creative subcultures today.

The birth of mod culture began in the late 1950s, when a group of young British teenagers began to experiment with fashion and music. They blended the classic look of their parents’ generation with the emerging styles of the rock and roll and skiffle scenes. By the early 1960s, they had created a culture that combined music, fashion, and motorbikes, and it quickly spread across the country.

The mod scene was further popularised by the music of artists such as The Who, The Kinks, The Small Faces and The Jam. This music became the soundtrack to the mod lifestyle and helped to create an identity and ethos that is still seen today.

The mod scene continues to evolve and grow, with bands such as The Libertines, The Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes all claiming to be inspired by the mod movement. The influence of the mod scene can also be seen in modern fashion, with designers such as Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood taking inspiration from the mod look.
