(of course, back in England, where he's a god, of course, these songs really were hits.) In any case, MODERN CLASSICS collects the best cuts from Weller's four solo albums released between 1992 and '97, the period when the former Jam-meister finally forged a coherent style out of his love for late-'60s artists like Traffic, the Small Faces, the Move, et al. What's particularly impressive is how the whole thing coheres. Despite the varying recording locations, dates, and personnel, the songs here sound like they were all bashed at one marathon all-night session.

Been a fan since 1977 and keeps maturing and improving all the time, like a fine wine many would say, much better than the Cappucino Kid :-)) Would encourage anyone that has not listened to much of PW's solo stuff to get this CD and find out what the masses are raving about.

Having listened to it it's definately not an album that your hooked from the first listen but Paul has an amazing voice and Broken stones is definately the best track on there for me.
