Monday February 28, 2005 The Verve , I first heard about them on the BBC news when it was announced they were splitting up. While visiting friends in Wigan soon afterwards (which is where they started) they played us the album Urban Hymms.
Urban Hymms is perhaps one of the best Rock albums of its time. I would not dream of comparing it to the likes of the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc they are like chalk and cheese. Thw whole album is excellent but the tracks that are mega awsome are "Bitter Sweet Symphony", "Sonnet", "The drugs don't work", "Space and Time" and "Lucky Man". It is one of the few albums I play in the car and press the repeat button on the cd player to hear a track again.
It puzzles me that I find 'modern' bands like the Verve by accident and feel there are a lot more like them with stuff I'd like to hear. But I do not listen to the radio and only hear of such bands by accident.
