With the start of another week, why not turn that frown upside down with JOE's Monday Feel Good track.

In a time between The Jam and a distinguished solo career, Paul Weller was busy filling the airwaves with The Style Council. Musically diverse, The Style Council released four top twenty albums, ensuring Weller’s stock never fell in the post-Jam days.

‘Shout to the Top’ was a top 10 hit when released in 1984, and was one of two top 10 singles from their second album ‘Our Favourite Shop’. The album itself peaked at number one in the UK, being the only one of their albums to do so, although ‘Cafe Bleu’ released the year previous and ‘The Cost of Living, two years after, both peaked at number two.

With this years ‘Sonik Kicks’, Weller once again notched up another number one album. However, its no harm going through the back catalogue to remind us of  some of the gems, the man has served up over the years.
