Essential albums: The Verve
The Verve is another one of those bands that I cannot BELIEVE the US has caught on too like they have in the UK. Most people would know them from the song “Bittersweet Symphony” but they have done tons more. Richard Ashcroft may also be one of the most depressed, bitter musicians ever, and it certainly shows. In their constant scowls and in the music. In fact, their song “The Drugs Don’t Work” was voted the most depressing song ever. In fact, most of their songs are heart-wrenching. And awesome. Urban Hymns was really one of their best albums, but here is a collection of their singles that is quite awesome.
