I think the problem is, that I find Paul Wellers vocals a huge turn-off and I find a lot of their lyrics focusing on political and social commentary in the UK at that time very dated now. They were a band of their era and that`s about it really. I think Roxy Music were far better and timeless than the Jam could ever be
