Blimey. After all these years, this is the first time I’ve known of someone famous who I share my birthday with.....

Weller is one of those I just don't get. Love the Jam and Style Council were ok but as a solo artist I think he's crap! I have the Days of Speed live album which is quite a nice listen but most of his studio albums in the last 20 years are absolute garbage!

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Great songwriter, but I've heard he's a bit of a twât.

Same here, other than I thought Style Council were shoite as well - pretentious bllx

The Jam - magnificent though

 

[indeedido]

Can't agree re Style Council - some great songs
Wanted, Shout to the top, The Lodgers, My Ever changin moods, You're the best thing, Long hot summer.
Amongst many others.

Weller a genius. May not be the nicest bloke, but what a voice and what a catalogue.

The jam, probably my favourite British band of all time

He's arrogant pr*ck

He's arrogant pr*ck

Maybe so, but great music

 

[Paterson]

He and I were both teenagers when he was writing the soundtrack to my life. Where did the years go.

 

[parnabyscrosses]

He's arrogant pr*ck

Why?

 

[HundredRoom]

don't care what time I dont want to go

Hes nobody`s fool.
He can afford to be self - assured.
He doesnt suffer fools - like Liam Gallagher - who personifies arrogance and lack of any innate talent or ability.
Each to their own - but what he continues to do for music is more than commendable.

Correct on every point barring your last line.
Has done nothing of note for the last 15 years and that is being conservative that’s why he whinges at the crowd for not buying his latest albums. Too far up his own back eye now for me although I loved the Jam.

Can't you just enjoy the vast catalogue of Jam/Style Council/early solo stuff, watch him live and think what a great British musical icon he is, without just focusing on him being as rude as he always was when he was writing and playing that great stuff.
He is a special figure in our musical history.
