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 The Style Council, which melded pop, jazz, soul and more.
Decades after the dissolution of his bands The Jam and Style Council, Paul Weller remains one of the most influential Britpop acts of the past 30 years.
Weller got his start as the frontman for the late-'70s new-wave punk band The Jam, which came from modest beginnings to become a force atop the British charts.
