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

I have only given 22 dreams a single listen which should be rectified. Stanley Road is usually held up as the pinnacle and quite rightly so. I have to say that i'm not a huge fan of The Jam. I like them but I rarely have a blast although 'News Of The World' and 'Funeral Pyre' are top top tunes. As RT rightly says, he doesn't get the respect he deserves. He's such a great songwriter just never particulary cool enough for younger fans and a little too off mainstream for the middle of the road fans.
