In the 90s, it was the bands that were easily pigeonholed that had the most success. Nirvana was Grunge, Green Day was Punk and STP did whatever was most popular during their recording sessions. Whether it was because of their unique sound or constant stylistic shifts, The Verve were not a band that was easily defined. In fact, if it weren't for uber-single (and the Rock Czar's #2 Alternative Rock Song of the 90s) "Bittersweet Symphony," and all the ensuing (positive and negative) hoopla it created, casual music fans would never have even known these guys existed. However, as you'll see from the list below, these guys have way more to offer than just one smash single and you absolutely need to download Urban Hymns if it's not yet part of your collection!
