There's always been something about Our Favorite Shop by the Style Council and I don't know why...The politics were pretty simple minded but what do you expect from a pop album. There's a couple stinkers on it. The sound completely dates as 80s in a blink of an eye. But I've always had a weak spot for this album even though I was never that big on the Jam, Paul Weller's solo stuff or even other Style Council albums for that matter. And everytime I hear Shout to the Top it makes me wish I could sing like Weller. Maybe it's because he always seemed to have good clothes and was a bit of a curmudgeon.

Not from Our Favorite Shop, but you can't go wrong with a cheesy bike race complete with the old wooly jersies and vintage Sidis either.
