Former Oasis member Noel Gallagher has put together a playlist spanning Paul Weller’s entire career for BBC 6. The playlist includes The Jam’s “Start!,” “That’s Entertainment,” “A Town Called Malice,” “Shopping,” and “No One In The World,” as well as The Style Council’s “Speak Like A Child,” “My Ever Changing Moods,” “Shout To The Top,” and “It Just Came To Pieces In My Hand.” The playlist also features some of Weller’s solo work, including “Wild Wood,” “Broken Stones,” “Push It Along,” “Have You Made Up Your Mind,” and “White Horses.” It also includes highlights from The Jam recorded live during their “imperious phase” at the Rainbow Theatre in 1979 and the Golders Green Hippodrome in 1981.
Weller has previously voiced his admiration for Gallagher and his ability to “write an anthem.” Speaking of Gallagher’s solo work, Weller said, “I think his songs now have got a different sort of depth to them; lyrically as well. Especially the new one. I really like the words on it. He’s got his own thing together.” As well as praising his abilities on guitar, bass, and drums, Weller hailed Gallagher’s “magpie” approach to music.
