To add a few....

 

Strange town

When you're young

Thick as thieves

Smithers-Jones

To be someone

English rose

[Dr Marco]

oh my god I forgot "English rose" ! what a tune!

[Fox92]

Yep. A true great band led by a great songwriter. Been brought up on Weller's stuff really, my Dad is a massive fan.

 

My favourite Jam song is "The Bitterest Pill" but I do love "Down In The Tubestation" (lyrically, Tubestation is superb). Most of All Mods Cons I like, great album.

[foxfanazer]

Of his solo work my favourite has to be Brand New Start

[ousefox]

Only just got into Paul Weller for some reason. Fantastic stuff. Big fan of Science. Great song

[Webbo]

All of the above tracks are brilliant obviously. This is very underrated as well.

 

[City_4_Life]

Love The Jam but also The style Council with walls come tumbling down one of my faves by them.

 

 

 

[Dr Marco]

two heroes of mine

The butterfly collector quality

[Webbo]

I know it's a Kinks cover but I always liked this

 

[The Syrup]

Love Weller's early solo stuff...

His Beatles cover on the B side is decent too...

If we're doing the solo stuff.

[Voll Blau]

Bit sad, but whenever I was in London on my own I always used to put Strange Town on while I was walking around/on the tube.

I was pretty much obsessed with The jam in the early 90's, bought every bootleg going...no internet then.  Compiled my own VHS tapes full of jam stuff (still have them..in the loft). 

 

One of those bands...like the smiths or oasis where the b side could be as good as the a side.

 

Haven't listened to them for a while...might have to get the records out again. 

 

Hope the UK can produce bands like The jam again.

 

If you haven't seen 'from the jam' you should they're great.

And just as relevant today, maybe even more so.

And they haven't dated either....still sound great almost 40 years on.

 

Not a big fan of compilations but Extras is worth checking out and Live jam is a great live album.

[Lovejoy]

Saw Weller live at the NEC recently, he was brilliant.

[Blueman1967]

Elton Rifes

Start

Scrape Away

Pretty Green

Carnation

if you want most of The Jam input, I recommend Direction Reaction Creation box set, it has five discs, well worth having a look.

 

Love the Style Council and the solo stuff

Yes I buy his solo albums, when they come out, seen him live a few times,  brought all of The Style Council, 12" and records,  there a book by Ian Snowball, called Paul Weller - Sound from Studios, lists all his albums up to Saturns Patterns,through to The Jam albums, track listings, and musicians that played on them
