I've got a fair amount of the recording Weller did with the Style Council, and it is certainly pop, and light at that. It's my least favourite phase of his music, and coincided funnily enough, with the rise of much more interesting bands - like the alternative scene, inc our own TSOM.
I adore the Jam, but I do rate his solo output as well.

I certainly do. Would like to have it explained to me, by those with more expertise in matters Sisters, what makes it is less a Sisters album than the others?

Well, so we were told, but IIRC James Ray denied that
Colours was him...

Would you therefore classify 'Rain from Heaven' as a cover version when it's played live by The Sisters of Mercy?

It's more akin to, say, Weller singing Jam songs solo.
