what does everyone think of this truley great band.
3 albums theyve got, has anyone actually heard all of them? id be surprised..... Urban hymns is easily one of the best albums ever made, and some would say it was the last great album made, released in 1997. Northern soul really flows as an album with epic songs such as "history"... I really love richard ashcrofts lyrics he is one of the best songwriters of all time.
Storm In heaven
A Northern Soul
Urban Hymns

I've only heard Urban Hymns. It's good, but didn't make me a fan.

The Verve are good but Ashcroft doesn't come close to being one of the best song writers of all time, in my opinion.

Hmmm. Bitter Sweet Symphony is a nice peaceful song. Heard it in 'Cruel Intentions'

i've got all 3 albums. I actually think Northern Soul is the best album from start to finish, it's too bad no band can make music like that now. The Verve were a one off. Urban Hymns has their more classic numbers I would have to agree. I'v only heard what Ashcroft's released as singles so far, none of his albums. Are they worth buying? He certainly seems to capture a bit of the Verve sound.

I guess the only album I liked was A Storn In Heaven. I was never a fan of the brit-pop scene - but I don't really conder them or Radiohead much a part of it.

I don't actually own any Verve albums, but I'm sure Urban Hymns will make it's way into my collection when I'm at a record store one day.
I have both of Ashcroft's solo albums (at least I think there's only 2?). I haven't listened to the second one too much (The Human Condition). I think the first 4 tracks off Alone With Everybody are absolutely incredible though.

Yes, I've heard Urban Hymns... what I meant was I've never been in a record store and thought about picking up a copy of the CD at the same time.  |

I basically know only 2 of their songs...one of them in my opinion is one of the saddest songs ever: The Drugs Don?t Work.

I picked up Urban Hymns the other week, forgotten just how good the Verve are - this is an amazing album, a genuine classic, deffinetly the best album by a British band in many a year.

now, I am using myself as a source here but:
I think most of us only know "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and some other songs but we don't connect them with the bands name.
I dunno, I dont really know much @ all about them!

The Verve are so fucking awesome. Whoever started this thread is also awesome.
Symphony, Drugs dont work, Sonnet, etc are amazing songs
Ashcroft's solo is also awesome.
