Surprised you didn't include 'Strange Town' and 'Butterfly Collector', but then again, it aint my list.
Not so keen on 'Start', too much like The Beatles 'Taxman' for comfort IMO. Good choice with 'Art School' though.
Weller's early songwriting was brilliant and at it's best (his angry young man attitude) he's every bit as good as Ray Davies.
Never liked his Style Council phase and was well chuffed when he released Stanley Road.
He's everything Noel Gallagher wants to be, but never will.

It IS Taxman, I have no idea how they got away with that.
'All Mod Cons' is one of my favourite albums (I just love the way the Jam were the only punk-era band to be wearing their 60's influence on their sleeve) and 'Our Favourite Shop' by the Style Council is an 80's classic IMO.
Probably need to pick up 'Wild Wood'. Neat-o!
