My favourite is between, Bitter sweet sympathy, Drugs don't work, On Your own, Lucky man and Sonnet. :D

 

I went for Lucky Man in the end but it is really tough :(

The Drugs Don't Work - stunning.

Lucky Man.

"Gravity Grave" without a doubt, with "All In The Mind" a close second, I really didn't like the later stuff at all, anything after "Northern Soul" for me is just totally meh, when they first started, their sound was just totally different to what was around at the time, but the "Urban Hymns" stuff just sounded like every other Britpop band...

They produced many a classic but 'The Drugs Don't Work' and 'Bittersweet Symphony' are the 2 best.

Lucky Man - total class!

Lucky Man for me ^_^

Couldnt you have put the solo Ashcroft singles in the rest of the places as an ultimate test of solo vs band?

 

I for one, bought the verves Greatest Hits after getting into the solo stuff

"Gravity Grave" for me too. I hated "Urban Hymns" - just awful music...dadrock really was indie's lowest ever point.

Agreed, and did you notice that all the sheep went flocking to them when they were producing their most average, commercial and boring music....? "Bittersweet Symphony" is the worst, people only got into it cos it sampled The Stones.... Bad show from Ashcroft and Co, they were so original and compelling before they got fukkin' lazy.... <_<

dadrock??? :lol: :lol:

The Drugs don't work by a long way.

dadrock??? :lol: :lol:

 

Yeah...Dadrock. Show me the difference between Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis and The Verve vintage 1997. There is none. They kickstarted indie's most fallow period giving Embrace a leg up and opening the door for Travis.

Couldn't have put it better myself... Don't forget the fact that they opened the door for the execrable Coldplay as well..... <_<
