No-one was particularly surprised when, after the Jam split, Paul Weller was the one who went on to hack out a solo career. What was surprising was the route he took. Having spent many years fighting the cause of mod and punk in that seminal band, his own solo work took on a much more commercial, relaxed and poppy direction, when he formed the Style Council. Gone was the Angry Young Man, and in his place a Relaxed, Contented Older (and much Richer) Man.
This, at any rate, is one of their big hits, one to get your feet moving (wish
I had feet!), it's “Walls come tumbling down.”
