Paul Weller chooses his Tracks Of My Years

'The Modfather' himself Paul Weller picks his favourite songs all this week on Tracks Of My Years. Plus, there's more Ten To The Top and we play a new Album and Record Of The Week.

Known as 'The Modfather' and one of the most revered writers and performers of the past five decades, Paul Weller shares his favourite song choices all this week on Tracks Of My Years.

From starting out as frontman of the influential bands The Jam and The Style Council, Paul kick-started a successful solo career in the early 90s, and is now rightly hailed as one of the most influential and inventive figures in modern British music.

He’s released 28 albums to date, and Paul’s 17th solo album '66' was released earlier in the summer to huge acclaim. Following his recent UK dates, he’s off on his first North American tour in seven years in September, as well as another UK run in October and November.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
