The Verve - History. Great album as well.

Going to sleep on this one. All crackers in different ways.

End of a century all the way

Can't get out of bed

Yeah, this is a good round.

Great memories of The Verve around this time. Saw them at my first experience of Glastonbury in 95. Just remember the baking heat and Nick McCabe's guitar amp blowing midway through the set. They just continued with bass and drums. Fucking brilliant. Ashcroft was the coolest bastard on the planet that day.

Still though, can't see past SFA. Never quite fitted into the whole Britpop phenomenon but never quite shook off the tag of being a Britpop band either. Probably suffered commercially as a result. Play It Cool is definitely one of their more radio-friendly tunes though.

End of the Century.

End of a century.

Not a huge Verve fan by any means, but History is a fucking majestic song, so it gets my vote.

The album is it is on is better than the one that followed that sold millions IMO. Pretty sure he supported Oasis when I saw them in Ingliston in the mid 90s. Although I was pished having spent the OCS warm up in the bar
 

All good tunes but Can't get out of bed is my personal favourite in this group.

Always liked the Charlatans
