Paul Weller left seminal band The Jam in 1982 and formed Style Council for one reason: he hated rock and roll. True story! In 1984 the Council released their debut album, Cafe Bleu. Lead single "My Ever-Changing Moods" raced up the charts, reaching the top 5 in the UK and the top 30 in the USA. It didn't sound like rock and roll, it sounded like some fine New Wave. Weller led The Style Council for another six years and three more LPs. They never again hit the heights they did with "Moods", which grabs the #138 spot on my Top 200.

Great song, but I kinda liked his stuff more before he decided he was Smokey Robinson
