Every time I dive into their catalog Weller's inability to sing his own songs distances me, but the concept -- punk rocker anticipating Swing Out Sister -- draws me back.

style council on totp rapping "if you're part of the working class, this issue applies to you!" or something like that was a real "aw, bless" moment.

As dismayed as I was by the breaking up of The Jam, the first Style Council EP was a revelation for me when it came out.

I did get to one of the last Jam gigs at Wembley Arena, it was very singalongaJam.
Yes, that first ep told me things were going to be good. Better, even.

Weller struck me during this period as playing at leftish politics.

Not a huge Weller fan, but "Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a personal favorite - so smooth. It does annoy Weller fans if you say this is the best thing he's ever done.
