I was a big fan of The Jam at the time, but he turned me right off when he went all 'French' and created The Style Council. I love the fact that he loves soul, but apart from a few songs he did I just couldn't get over the shock of it not being The Jam and eventually ignored him completely.
That was until he reinvented himself with his solo work and all was well again between me and the "modfather".
He's a musical magpie, but who'd dare accuse him of being generic?
Certainly not me, as he's always managed to stamp his own signature over whatever he does. Great songwriter that deserves even more credit than he already gets.
