Yeah, a sadly underrated band though...

Indeed, but the question is that they're probably seen as an 80's one hit wonder band, and they certainly weren't. Perhaps a "one album wonder" band, but that's debatable.
Here are a few tracks from Paul Weller's project after he left The Jam, The Style Council:
Terrific pop tune, bit of an R&B touch which is pure class. Released as a single.
Now this one is immense. Tracey Thorn's voice really adds quite a lot to the track, not only because it's brilliant, but because I think the song benefitted from a female vocalist. Has a bit of a film-noir feel as well, especially due to the rain pouring in the background and the presence of the piano. Always good if you're in the mood for some contemplative melancholy. That's probably a drink in some really snotty bar, actually...
A bit of a misty, minimalistic song with quite political lyrics which thankfully don't detract from the track's general beauty in the least. Again, class.
These last two tracks are from the 1984 album
Café Bleu.
