The Verve. Most Americans only know their overplayed pop anthem “Bitter Sweet Symphony” but the rest of their ‘97 album “Urban Hymns” contains some pretty solid Les Paul and Marshall-driven British rock.
The Verve were awesome. A Northern Soul may be one of the best albums of the 1990s. If Richard Ashcroft hadn’t used the reunion as a vehicle to get his solo career back on track, maybe they’d still be delivering.
