They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7
Active compensatory factors: Apart from his solo work, I like aspects of Paul Weller's band career but nothing has stuck enough for me to become an avid collector. That means I have mainly compilations of his work with The Jam and The Style Council.

The only album I own by the latter is Our Favourite Shop and only because it was given to me. It was the second album by Mick Talbot (keyboards) and Paul Weller as The Style Council. Steve White plays the drums.
Stylistically, it varies a lot from track to track with only The Walls Come Tumbling Down sounding anything like The Jam. The rest takes in jazzy vibes, tropicana, soul and sophisticated pop. These are all good vehicles for Weller's socialism.
Where do they all belong? Overall, the compilation route is a safer option, I feel.
