Yeah......thing is Mr Weller. He's erm selling more records than you at the moment. Or is that what's really bothering you?

Paul Weller's new album isn't even released until Monday. So, given your ability to see the future, can you tell us what next week's winning lottery numbers will be, please?

You just don't mess with icons like that, it makes you look stupid, and makes people draw up unfavourable comparisons.

Have to disagree here Fizz, I'm afraid.
Who cares about Preston full stop? It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, so I won't. But Weller is also an icon, and for me personally, far more so than Freddie Mercury. I'm not too keen on Weller's work post The Jam, but that body of work measures up favourably to any other British band's output in the last 30 years. Weller is a far superior songwriter, too. There's nothing in Queen's back catologue that could hold a candle to
That's Entertainment,
Down In The Tube Station At Midnight,
The Eton Rifles,
Going Underground or
Town Called Malice.
