Weller has some quality tunes, mainly in The Jam and parts of his solo work, such as Broken Stones and From The Floorboards Up. Even with the Style Council there is one or two pretty good stuff- You're The Best Thing is one of the best 'love' songs Ive heard.

As for Wellers new album only coming out on Monday: I dont think that is an album that Weller has sanctioned or agreed to. I think its a cheap cash in on his Brit award next week. Its only a Jam 'best of '. Its a bit like all the The Smiths complilations that Morrissey and Marr have nothing to do with.

As for criticisising Preston, it is a bit harsh and smacks of bitterness and a bit of a PR stunt.

The Ordinary Boys have supported Weller in the past, so this seems a bit rich, to me.
