Post your favourite songs by the most underrated singer/songwriter, a genius who's work isn't appreciated enough by the nation:guitar::guitar:
Under-rated, really ? I don't think so.
To be fair he has tried to explain this. #24

Don't get this thing with Paul Weller.
Other than the odd one or two, he has to be the most boring singer/songwriter this country has ever produced and continuously lives off his success with the Jam and the Stanley Road LP.
As for him being called the "mod father" why? Is it because he dresses in a Parker jacket and has a haircut that was "cool" around 30 years ago?

In London village.
It's called a Parka and I doubt he has worn one for years.
That said if I was under 40, I probably would not give a damn about Weller or The Jam.
Ok mate, we are not all the same, but boring no, i do not like the "mod father" tag either,
he wasn't called this in the Jam days.

Me to use to tell my mum I was going to Western Rd I was about 14 I think happy days. Best song away from the numbers , Ever changing moods and out of the sinking
Writing my favorite Weller tracks I recalled memories of trips to Carnaby St do get bowling shoes from Shelley's good times

He's boring now, but up to the end of 1985, he was brilliant. Incredible talent.

Fair enough.. I agree not a housewives favourite, but I wiould not think under rated by people who listen to music. I have countless of his albums - don't say I particualy like them all, but I dd see the Jam play more tan once and have seen PW several more times.
It's funny, in my head when I'm not listening, if I think of his music, it can be a little "samey" but I don't think that when I'm actually listening to it. I usually think I should be playing it more often.
Funnily enough, one of my plans for today was to learn "that's entertinment" on the avoustic.

He didn't always get things right sartorially either...
I must admit I prefer The Jam to the Weller solo stuff of today.
Good choice of song to learn on the guitar

That's not Weller that is me in Magaluf 1989!

And who can forget the moustache?!
It's almost Peter Ward-eseque in its statement: "This moustache signifies that from now on, I'm going to be much less good than I was before..."

My all time favourite; Strange Town - love this song. It perfectly captures the hectic 'can't be bothered with other people' attitude in Cities. Great song.
Good choice for a first gig it was a brilliant night.
Strange Town, agree great song, I have been playing Jam cds for the last 2 hours.

A question about his recording career:
'Batman Theme' by The Jam - why?!
'Batman Theme' by The Jam - why?!
Never worked this out but my youngest son loves this.
Me too!
