The Verve
A somewhat snakebit band, often overshadowed by fellow Brit-rockers Oasis and Radiohead, The Verve was responsible for some of the best and most well-crafted rock to come out of England in the 1990s. While the band perfected their pop songwriting as time went on, it never lost its early psychedelic-space-rock edge. On the verge of breaking up in 1996, the band gave it one more go, and came out of the studio with URBAN HYMNS, a million-seller on both sides of the Atlantic, featuring the top 40 hit "Bittersweet Symphony." Unfortunately, that song's snippet of a Rolling Stones cover led to a judgment against them for all profits from the album, which partially led to the band's demise by 1999. After Richard Ashcroft's semi-successful solo career, the band reunited for 2008's FORTH.

Sweet sound, great tunes. Takes you back every time you hear them. Wish they hadn't broken up.
