Not really posting against you EC. My first postings in the Lounge as Weller is just a bit special to me.
As I said getting into a p**s
ing up the wall contest is pointless. You are entitled to your opinion and vice vesa.
I had no idea of Zepplin’s chart positions in a "rock album"category. Weller’s latest album "As is now" is currently 38 in the Radio 1 generic Album charts. Who cares who has sold the most albums. The man is prolific over three decades in Rock/soul and I do think Stanley Road will still be considered by many to be a classic in 20 years time. That is why he got the award. If no one else liked it that really would not bother me.
