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.
Yeah 22 Dreams is definitely a grower but to me the albums that grow on you are the best (IMO). As for him not being 'cool enough' for younger fans. I know quite a few people my age who are into Paul Weller. + Also it shouldnt be to do with how 'cool' he is as his music is immense and thats all that matters (IMO).

Well I dont really think its about how 'cool' he is. If thats the case then they cant be into music in the first place. + He has been around for a while and could win new fans of any age (although I highly doubt my brother will start listning to him anytime soon). I hate how older people say we all listen to ****e/dont know what real music is. I agree to a certain extent there are the clowns who have the happy hardcore blaring out there cars but I aint certainly aint one o them lol. Also sometimes I wish I was older so I could have lived through all the great decades of music but TBH I think I was born in the perfect generation as everything is so accessible now especially with the internet. I wouldnt have been able to get into around 90% of the artists ive gotten into if it wasnt for amazon marketplace and their cheap prices.

ALSO CHECK OUT THIS CRACKING COVER OF NEILS YOUNG'S OHIO LIVE AT HIS COMEBACK GIG AT GLASTONBURY 1994. IF YOUVE HEARD THE ORIGINAL YOU WILL SEE HOW HE HAS MADE IT HIS OWN HERE.
