Nineties Revisited: History


Original video located here. Accessed 23rd June 2017

Song title: History

Artist: The Verve

Year: 1995

Why I like this song:

Lately I've been listening to the Verve's second album, A Northern Soul

One can only wonder how history will remember The Verve: On one hand is the band that the monumental hit with Bittersweet Symphony and it's parent album Urban Hymns. But on the other was this: the lesser known period before Urban Hymns that was less audience friendly but more highly regarded by some.

Certainly it is a shock hearing this having come from Urban Hymns but that's what makes it intriguing. A tough listen to be sure but a rewarding one.
