I've only just recently got into The Jam and Weller and was after some other opinions from you guys.

Some bad things
Some good things (bloodsports, ...)

The first time I heard A Man of Great Promise was live with Jools Holland and I thought it was one of his best songs. Few years later, I found the studio version from the Style Council : it was awful.

They have some amazing tunes: Walls Come Tumbling Down, You're The best Thing, Internationalists, Come to Milton Keynes, etc.

Although I've been a huge fan of The Jam and Weller for years and years, I couldn't get into The Style Council. To me The Style Council was the dark shadow of Weller's whole career, but without Style Council there would have been no Weller like he is now.
They did have some great tunes and honestly I did really enjoy when he played "Shout To The Top" on his recent tour.

The Style Council are in my all-time least favorite.

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5
