Paul Weller

Immortal anthems. Legendary solos. A melting pot of genres that paved the way for a musical movement. The non-stop soundtrack of a generation. 

The Stone Roses defined my childhood. When I decided to compile my 100 favourite records of all time, sitting at the top, unchallenged, there they were.

I played the living daylights out of Stanley Road as a teenager, and it’s refreshing to revisit today without the Britpop lens distortion.
