The definitive Paul Weller thread (dancing, vinyl, single, albums)

Paul Weller is responsible for writing some of my favourite tunes of all time. 'Down in the Tubestation at Midnight' would possibly make my top ten ever.
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.
