Total legend for 30 years.
Took The Jam out at the top. Singles entering at Number One when it meant something, and for many the most important band of a generation.
Reinvented himself with the Style Council.
Down and dropped by the record labels before finding himself again and went back to the top. Nine albums out. All Top Ten and only two out of the top 2 spots.
Anti racist when it wasnt fashionable, anti Thatcher at the peak of Tory rule. Lyrics that change your life and leave you shaking your head.
Top drawer. |

Down In The Tube Station at Midnight was a keystone in British music and delivered such a punch with it's haunting lyrics - but what makes the song that much more potent is that from then to now, not much has changed really has it.
Paul Weller? True talent. |
