The Jam helped established Weller as one of the most visible and imitated rock artists of all time, but he further experimented with his sound upon the creation of TheStyleCouncil, which melded pop, jazz, soul and more.
Decades after the dissolution of his bands The Jam and StyleCouncil, Paul Weller remains one of the most influential Britpop acts of the past 30 years.
